I recently brewed a Beer Barrel Porter from a extract kit that I got from Apex Brew Wares. Here is the recipe:
3lbs DME
1Lb 8oz Munich
15oz Chrystal 40
12 oz Chocolate
8 oz Black Patent
Hop Schedule was
1 3/4 oz EKG at 60Min.
3/4 oz Fuggle at 15 min
3/4 oz EKG at Flame out
Wyeast 1056 American Ale Yeast
This was for a 5.5 Gal batch
Everything seemed to go just fine. OG was 1.062 FG was 1.016 after 3 weeks. I racked it to a secondary and added the 3 oz of bourbon soaked oak chips. After 2 weeks in the secondary, I did a taste test and it seems a little to hoppy for my liking.
My questions is: Is there a way to reduce the hoppiness?
