A couple days ago I brewed a smoked ale with an OG of 1.060 and fermented it with Wyeast German Ale yeast. I'm having very active fermentation and quite a bit of blow off. I tasted a bit off the side of the fermenter and it is way more bitter than the final beer should be. Is this just from the hop oils on top or did I over hop? My hop schedule was only 1 oz. of Cluster (6.7 Alpha) for 60 Min and .5 oz. Williamette (5.5 Alpha) at 10 and 5 min. According to Beer Smith it should have resulted in 27 IBUS.
