I brewed a batch of Pale Ale a few weeks ago, and I think I had some old, bad hops. They smelled fine, but my beer is extremely sweet. It's like the hops had no alpha acids.
I'm wondering if I can brew up a super-contrated hop tea by boiling some hops on the stove and then add it to my beer? I'm thinking just a cup or two of water. I know the utilization will suck, but maybe I can add enough bitterness to make it drinkable.
