OK, I royally screwed up. I'm making a lager (Sams Clone) and I took a gravity reading today, sampled it and it's way too bitter.
I had some of the hops left over and I rechecked them and though I swore I used a 6%AA Simcoe hop (boiled for 60 mins), in reality I used a Santiam 12% AA for 60 mins. So went back and adjusted the recipe in BeerSmith and alas the IBU is 85.5 which is exactly how it tastes. I was going to lager this week but it's undrinkable and I'm out of my mind PO'd at myself !
So, is there anything I could do ?
