I've been brewing for a little over a year now. Small batches on my gas stove. Extract, full grain, BIAB, infusion mash, you name it. About 15 batches in total. Although I have to admit that my beer is gradually getting better, I seem to be in the long tail of gradual improvements.
Is there one thing that you have done in the past that pushed your beer to a much higher level, or am I stuck in this dreaded tail for ever and ever?
