Hello All,
I have been home brewing for about 2 years, I have read many books on brewing, and I have learned a lot and have produced some really good beers. In my reading I have often encountered descriptions of certain beer styles that will say the beer starts with say a maltiness, finishes with say a fruitiness, and features hop bitterness in the aftertaste. My question is, is there any thing the brewer can do in either the recipe or the brewing process that determines what flavors dominate at which stage ( front end, finish , aftertaste, etc.)
