Hey Guys!
I had a couple of beers turn out not like I expected. One of them I had brewed twice before, so I was really surprised when it came out like it did.
This is the recipe...
9.5 lb 2 row
.75 lb Caramel Crystal 60L
.75 lb Caramel Crystal 90L
1 lb Vienna
1oz Cascade - 60
1oz Citra - 15
1oz Citra - 0
1oz Citra - secondary
California Ale Yeast White Labs WLP001
Usually this comes out as a mild beer with strong aromas and flavors from the Citra hops. However this time it came out bitter and the hop aromas and flavors are almost non-existent.
I also had a similar recipe in which I was testing out Galaxy hops. I was expecting strong hop flavors from that one but instead in turned out tasting a lot like the other failed batch.
One other thing I forgot to mention is that the beer is cloudy even after cold crashing. This is unusual as it usually clears up very nicely.
Does anyone have any idea what went wrong?
Thanks!
