Is it possible to balance between malt/hops to have a beer that is too smooth? I made a brew that is shockingly smooth on both accounts. It is a partial mash I hit my 1.052 OG on the nose. It fermented down to 1.008. The recipe is below. Did I do something right or wrong I AM CORNFUSED..... Please post your comments..... And I will enjoy it non the less.....
