Well, I bottled my first AG tonight and I'm not sure what to think. My Pale Ale
ended up being more of an IPA because of my 90 min boil time instead of 60 min.
(83 IBU) I tasted some after chilling in the fridge for an hour and it seems light.
Maybe not quite watery but "dry" maybe?
The FG was 1.006. Did this finish too dry? Or am I just tasting a green IPA?
It seems like it will be drinkable after it carbonates. But it just doesn't have
any substance backing it up.
The color seems accurate at 14 SRM.
What do you think?
