So i brewed a beer for an event this weekend and i feel as though it does not have enough hop flavor. I made a blonde ale because i wanted more of a crowd pleaser beer for the BMC drinkers, but i think it really needs some more hop flavor. I think it needs it to balance the malty aftertaste. The beer has already finished fermenting and is in the keg, so here is what i was thinking... Could i boil a quart or two of water with, say, 0.25oz of hop pellets for 10-15 mins, cool, and add to the keg for more flavoring hops? I have also heard of people steeping spices in vodka to extract the flavor, but something tells me steeping the hops in vodka would extract and contribute more aroma. Any input or suggustings? I think the beer as is is OK, but i really think some added flavoring hops would make it much better.
Thanks!
