I have been having trouble with my hops here lately on anything that I brew that is hop centered it doesn't turn out that way.
As in I had brewed an imperial ipa with 8oz of centennial and around 9% abv and there is little to no hop aroma or bitterness to it. Also I have brewed an india brown ale (mike mcdole's recipe) with 6oz of cascade in it and there isn't much hop aroma at all and very little bitterness and their is a little hop presence in the end of the bottle, but the chocolate malt dominates it all. I used .5# for a 5.5 gallon batch. Any thoughts/comments/concerns and or help would be great. I can brew a batch that isn't hop centered and it comes out ok.
