d... I think I screwed up the recipe
My first attempt at all-grain.
I added an extra pound of 2row and an extra 1/2 pound of crystal and vienna, incase the efficiency was bad.
Used nottingham dried yeast. (First time just pitching the yeast into the carboy without hydrating).
It fermented out from 1.067 to 1.020. I thought maybe adding it to the secondary would stir the yeast and ferment it down a bit more.
I had it for 10 days in the carboy in darkness. 3 weeks in secondary and 9 days carbed so far.
The beer never cleared like thepicture of you're beer shows. It's the same color though.
The taste is somewhat sweet. The smell though is what gets me. It smells yeasty. I cant smell those great hop aromas at all.
What did I do wrong here? I might reopen all the bottles and put back into fermenter and restart the fermentation?
