putting my ipa into secondary to dry hop for a bit. smelled fantastic but it had a really peanut or nutty taste to it?
ingredients were: light malt, 40L half pound, carapils quarter pound, and biscuit half pound(no victory was available and guy at brew store said its a good substitute). 4oz centennials. and now 2 oz of chinook into seconday. 5gallons total.
i know biscuit is supposed to give the bready/nutty flavor but this is almost overpowering nutty...
if this is normal, did i just have too much victory/biscuit? what would be a better volume for something like an ipa?
also, ive read that chinooks give off a pretty strong flavor/aroma, will this counter balance the nutty taste?
