Ok I am probably going to kick myself in the balls for mentioning this online, but I have to say either, I am all fked up or I am just not a big fan of dry hopping (or maybe both).
I have brewed 2 separate batches of 2 different beers. I dry hopped 6 gallons of each and in both cases they tasted almost grassy. I am talking like YUK!!!
I know more info, more info .
Batch #1 a Honey Amarillo IPA a single hop Amarillo brew that I dry hopped 5 gallons for 6 days @ 36-37 deg F in the keg w/ 1 oz of Amarillo pellets
Batch #2 Lake Walk Pale Ale that I dry hopped 6 gallons for 14 days w/ ½ oz Cent and ½ oz Amarillo whole hops in the secondary @ 66 deg F
They both had a very similar taste, both very grassy
Batch 1 is several months old; batch 2 is 1 month old.
In both cases the non dry hopped portion of the batch was KILLER! So I ask WTF am I doing something wrong here? I have just jumped on the I and IIPA bandwagon I am liking what I have been doing except the dry hops.
Ya Ya Ya I know, Duh .. Dumb a$$ dont dry hop I am just curious WTF are you all so gung ho over? I cant seem to get the grassy taste to subside.
Some advise please ..
Cheers
JJ
