Can you tell a difference

with IPA's it seems to me there is little difference due to the Hop load. on others like red ale i would say yes. But i would put some of my extract batch beer up against anything out there honestly. Saturday i sat down and had a Columbus brewing company IPA which is an excellent beer and i feel my current IPA s better than it by a good bit. Dont get me wrong I love CBC IPA but for the price difference im solid on mine. Im going to try to experiment with water chemistry next to see what effect that has on the product. Extract batch generally run 40 bucks for 2 cases...most comparable beers are in teh 9 bucks a 6 pack range so there is a huge saving in the long run.

I started an IPA Sunday. I used some of my homegrown hops.

Mike I'm going to suggest you brew up a black IPA. It's fantastic and if you haven't tried one it's a great brew
