I just brewed the Dubbel Your Pleasure Ale from JOHB by Charlie P. While there is no burn marks on the bottom I taste a bitterness. I thought I smelled a wee bit while it was boiling so I tasted it and it hits the back of the tongue with a bitterness like a burn. I did the recipe exactly except for a hit of .25oz Mt Hood for the last 15 mins. I wanted to use them up. I always lower the flame when adding LME and stir constantly and vigorously. I dont see any black specks in the strainer either. Could the bitterness be from a 2month old, opened bag of Mt Hood hops? or Could you burn the malt without any evidence but the taste?
Or should I get the pot still built to distill after fermentation?
Such a letdown.
