So I opened my 1st bottle of my IPA II today and as I was expecting there really isn't a whole lot of flavor. Here is the recipe:
5 gal batch
8# ultralight malt
2# munich
1# 2-row
1.5# crystal 15L
8 oz carapils
2 oz Magnum 60 min
2 oz Kent Goldings 5 min
2 oz Kent Goldings 1 min
1 tsp gypsum
I didn't dry hop which I right now I wish I did but I don't have any extra hops sitting around so I wasn't able to. I would have thought that 6 oz of hops would have given me a bit more flavor. The brew is also pretty cloudy. I kept it in the primary for 1 week, secondary for 3 weeks, and this is the 10th day in the bottle. Will the hop flavor increase/decrease with age?
