I am having trouble getting the hop aroma out of my pale ale I would like. My beer is clean and drinkable but I feel it is missing the hop aroma I would like. My last attempt generally followed the BYO may june 2005 magazine.
I make a large batch, I yield around 65 litres of beer. (Basically I brew to my capacity of my lauter tun and my pot because I want to get the maximum amount of beer for the same effort)
Here is my recipe
33 pounds of canadian 2 row
2 pounds of 45 crystal malt
2 ounce magnum, 1 ounce cascade (60 minutes)
3 oz. Cascade (30 minutes)
3 oz cascade (0 minutes)
I understand that if you want to get more hop aroma you place the hops at the end of the boil but I already have 3 ounces there!
I do not want any more bitterness. I was thinking of pulling some hops out and placing in a tea ball in my keg. Any comments or other ideas?
I also am considering using citra hops as this was in a beer me and my neighbor tried out & really enjoyed
Thanks for any help in advance
