Today I followed a recipe in TCJoHB for a Belgian Tripel. It calls for
6.6 lb of Brewferm hopped LME
2 lb. light DME
1 lb. honey
1 oz. Styrian Goldings hops
I put approx. 1 oz. of hop pellets, and I seem to recall that if you use pellets instead of whole hops you should put a bit less (a lot less?). I tasted the sample I used for my SG reading and it seems quite bitter.
Did I screw up with the hops or will this mellow out as it ferments and ages?
(I did already have a homebrew and am trying to relax and not worry.)
