Hello,
I brewed a one gallon Maris Otter / Amarillo SMASH with 2.75 lbs of grain for the 1 gallon batch. Beersmith gave me a 6.9% ABV
At day 5 in the bottle it was extremely well balanced - I was shocked at how great it was but there was no aroma...or very little.
at 12 days in the bottle, the balance went away and an alcohol sharpness came into the beer. I tried another bottle today at day 17 and the sharpness rounded a bit but it's still not so well balanced as day 5, but the Amarillo hop has now come through.
How can I cut this sharpness? What grain could I add or technique should I use to round out the edges? OR does it just need more time in the bottle? TIA
