The point is that making a beer with a simpler taste profile is harder to control. The 7 hops wacky thing is easier because no one knows what it's supposed to taste like and there's so much going on any off flavors are hidden.
That being said, I like macro brews and crazy beers. They both have their place.
- bombcar 4y agoExactly - and the pilsner is "easy" with tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment to monitor and measure everything. But at home, with imperfect tools? You can make almost anything but you can't make it twice. Even some of the craft breweries have difficulty keeping the taste consistent on their brews (this is the reason behind "limited edition runs" often).
- spread_love 4y agoNo it's easy with an electric kettle system too, or even brewing in jugs. That's why a lot of new brewers start with SMASH recipes, they're easy. There are enough DIPAs on the market now that we know they don't cover flaws that much.
