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!
