I brewed the NortherBrewer Cream Ale kit about a month ago and finally cracked the first bottle open last night for a taste. I was very disappointed in the bitterness of the beer. I expected to taste a light bitterness, kind of like a Megabrewer style beer but it is very bitter.
I boiled the hops in about two and a half gallons of wort for an hour as directed. At flameout, I removed the hops bag and quickly chilled with an immersion chiller.
The ingredients are listed here:
SPECIALTY GRAIN
-- 0.75 lbs Gambrinus Honey Malt
-- 0.25 lbs Dingemans Biscuit
FERMENTABLES
-- 6 lbs Pilsen malt syrup
HOPS & FLAVORINGS
-- 1 oz Cluster (60 min)
YEAST
-- DRY YEAST: Safale US-05 Ale Yeast.
