Hi,
I bottled my 2nd batch last week, I know it's not ready yet and really needs a few more weeks but I tasted a bottle last night and its much too bitter to drink.
I used 2 x 1.5kg of coopers Light LME and steeped 300g of crystal malt for 30 mins at 65 degree's.
My Boil size was about 15 litres and i topped up the wort to 23 litres.
I used lots of hops! 100g of Columbus and 100g of Cascade.
30g Columbus 60 mins
30g Columbus 15 mins
35g Cascade 15 mins
15g Columbus 5 mins
40g Cascade 5 mins
Dry hopped for 10 days with 25g Columbus and 25g Cascade.
I added 400g of Honey at high krausen and left in primary fermenter for 18 days then bottled. (no secondary)
I don't have a Hydrometer so I don't know what the gravity was.
I squeezed the hops both from boil and dry hop back into the wort. I did not squeeze any of the Crystal malt.
Will my beer be too bitter to drink or will it mellow out??
