New to brewing. Favorite beer are stout, fruit ales, and Belgian (especially wit); least favorite are IPA, lagers, and blondes. I like my beer flavorful, but not bitter.
First batch was a stout from a standard recipe at the LHBS. Good, but too bitter for my taste (recipe estimated ~35 IBU, turned out to be 42 after later inputting into Beersmith).
Being bottled next week is my second batch: a honey wit. I experimented with the hop additions to give more flavor and aroma without increasing bitterness, but later learned the hop flavors may interfere with the corriander and orange peel. We'll see.
For the third batch, I'm looking for an extract recipe or help making one that has low bitterness, but moderate to high hop flavor and aroma. I've been looking through the style guidelines, but haven't found anything like that. Something in the pale to amber color range. Moderate maltiness. And creamy. Ideas?
