I brewed a beer using wild hops that I recently harvested near my place. I read a lot about wild hop AA% and presumed they should be 1.5 to 2.0%
I used 6 oz (!) of these hops in this beer. Hop aroma from the fermenter is very nice and interesting. Unfortunately, the beer is not bitter enough. I tried a sample....
I thought of "adding" some bitterness by making a hop tea from bittering hop pellets that I have (maybe target or magnum) and just tossing it in the fermenter... I thought of one cup of this tea....
Do you think this would work? Any suggestions? Thanks!
