So I have posted about this beer right before i brewed it. Now 5 weeks later I am a bit disappointed. This beer was by far my best brew day ever. I hit all of the Volume/Temp/Gravity reading, and was done and cleaned up in 5 hours. When I transferred to the keg after 3 weeks of fermentation I was just a little high on my FG EST 1.014. I hit 1.016, no big deal. Anyways it tasted absolutely amazing, I would have personally put it on point with any commercially available DIPA. Now after about 2 weeks in the keg and 5 days on the Dry Hop it is really lacking in every aspect. The beer is incredibly cloudy. The hops are being masked by an overly sweet malt backbone that features some pretty strong nut flavors.
Does anyone have some ideas where this might have gone wrong, or should I just RDWHAHB and let it age some more? Well...I will do that regardless, I just hope someone might have an insight into the really strong nut characteristic and cloudiness.
