Hello All,
I apologize in advance but I have had too many HB and the gravity readings have now sent me over the egde. However, I still have a question or maybe its just a personal preference but my Belgian Stronge is too sweet. Is it in its nature to be sweet? I would prefer more hops or maybe a little more bitterness. Would dry hopping solve my preference problem or am I just not a Belgian person?... I am Irish! Here is my receipe. Before we dive into details I did miss the og 1.092 I got 1.080 but I did top off 1 gallon and I forgot to adj it on beersmith, and I am not sure if it matters. The receipe some times I just throw things together so here we go
3 lbs amber dme
6 lbs amber lme (late add)
3lbs candi sugar amber (1 min boil warmed candi in hot water before addition)
.50 Crystal 20
.25 Belgian pale
.25 carapils
2 oz centennial 9% @ 60 min
1.25 oz fuggles4.5% @ 15 min
Pitched on top of ESB cake. Can anyone say Mnt. Krakatoa:rockin:
So the long and the short... Will dry hopping help?
TIA
