Hey guys,

So I brewed my first BIAB DIPA 3g 2 weeks ago and it was bottling day yesterday. OG was 1.071 and FG 1.013 (brewfather predicted 1.012), 7.6% ABV, 63 IBU.

The sample I tasted was... Bland.. It was bitter like a 63 IBU but there was no citrusy aroma at all like I wanted, even though I dry-hopped about 4oz of hops.

Recipe is:

5.5 lb pilsen malt
2.5lb vienna
0.0313 lbs carapils

Hops:
0.8 oz Chinook @60

Whirlpool:

0.5 oz El Dorado
0.5 oz Galaxy
0.5 oz Vic Secret

Dry hopped 7 days:
1.7 oz Galaxy
1 oz El Dorado
1 oz Vic Secret

Safale US-05

Now... I completely wasted the whirlpool additions because I steeped for about 2-3mins because I had no idea how to whirlpool.

But shouldn't the 4oz of dry hops give me the Citrusy profile I was looking for? Is it too early to tell and I should just wait for conditioning to complete?

Thanks!
