Hello all, I am new to brewing 5 gallon extracts. With loving IPA's thats what i started with. The first was a kit from morebeer.com (Coloumbus IPA) and i followed the instructions to a T, but the beer came out smelling perfect looked perfect when I poured it from the tap and the taste was great when it first hit my mouth and had a great hoppy aftertaste. But it was missing body i guess? There was no taste in the middle. It went from great yeast flavor to basically water to great hop aroma.
1.071 OG
fermented it for 2 weeks in a minibrew conical
yeast wlp550
abv 5.25%
full boil
Kegged and carbonation came out perfect.
The lid did blow off my conical and about 8 inches of foam came out the top but i did the correct measures to insure it didnt get infected. House smelled like a Belgian bread factory......YUM!
Is there something i can do to add more body or flavor to the beer. I lkie the belgian influence on the IPAs. Thats why i went with the yeast i did. Stone makes one that is wonderfull. Cali-Belige
