Hi everyone
I tried to find something on this but wasn't too conclusive, so I apologize for anything redundant.
I seem to have an issue with a bitter aftertaste in my beers. It's not hoppy bitter, its just an unpleasant bitterness in the back of the mouth. It does mellow out a bit with age as I let the beers sit longer, but never truly subsides.
(from sampling my beer from the bottle after a week, all the way up to 3 months in the bottle).
I don't think I over-hop my beer. I brew around 3-4 gallon batches, and use anywhere from 1 ounce up to 3.5 for an ipa (which was intensely bitter).
Any suggestions. I was told that possible adding the bittering hops in before the wort even comes to a boil might help, but didnt do much. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
