(ACK: this question might have wider applicability to any beer, but my current issue is with a hefe, so the question is specific to that.)
I have a batch of Hefe that I was just (force) carbonating and, on tasting, I noticed that it's a bit thin. Passing around to others, they agree: the taste is great but, (a) it's a bit late (after you swallow) and (b) it's very lightweight/thin.
From this I gather that I got the hops right, but screwed-up the malt.
Which is too bad, cuz I could always add hops-flavor, but I don't know how to "thicken up" too-thin beer at the malt side.
Is that A Thing That Can Be Done? Or do I just have a batch of drain-cleaner?
Thanks!
