i brewed morehaze ipa. Underpitched and missed the og was supposed to be around 1.09. Mine was 1.076. Pitched one pack of yeast and followed directions for dry hopping (recipe called for days 3-5 and again 5-9). I fermented 16 days and it stalled out at a final gravity of 1.016 (1.008-1.012 was ideal)... at that point I had been sitting on my hops a long time, so I went ahead and bottled. It’s been 4 days and I tried one yesterday. The flavor was pretty good but had a lingering bitterness. Normally I would expect that with any ipa however the recipe said the Ibu’s should be lower than my previous pale ale. If I had it to do over again I would have pitched two packs and waited a minimum of 5 days before dry hopping and then spaced it out as called for. I know 4 days is not near enough time to judge the beer but do you think this bitterness will mellow out? Any suggestions on how I could brew this same brew again and get it right the next time? I’d like to try again and compare... luckily with the high alcohol content after one or two I’m sure it will taste just great
