Last week I brewed up an IPA. The recipe is as follows:
10 lbs maris otter
1 lb crystal 20L
1 lb munich
.5 oz simcoe (60 min)
1 oz ahtanum (30 min)
.5 oz amarillo (30 min)
.5 oz ahtanum (15 min)
.5 oz amarillo (15 min)
1.5 oz simcoe (1 min)
1 oz amarillo (1 min)
.5 oz ahtanum (1 min)
Wyeast 1056
1 tsp gypsum in mash
1 tsp gypsum in boil
Ive read countless times that you cant tell much about the finished results by tasting the wort, my only concern is that it was very, very bitter. I love hoppy beer but this seemed a little extreme. Will it mellow out as it ferments?
