| Try and try again. If you make a batch or have ever tasted someone elses batch that you didn't care for then try a different recipe. With an unlimited possibility of malts, hops, additives, yeasts, and even water & temp variables there is a homebrew out there for even the hardest critic. I even made an ale once that my wife kinda liked and she flat out hates ale.
As for most of my creations... once I drink one of mine I just cann't follow up with an average store brand. The quality and taste of mine wups the living daylights out of most comercial brews without spending more than $8 a six pack. For the record, labor excluded cause I don't consider it work and without sitting down to do some serious mat, one of my brews probably runs around $5 to $6 a six pack just because I likes mine very strong. Avg 8% by volume with lots of body and plenty of hoppiness.
