Alright, I don't think I jacked anything up during brew day. I made a 3 Floyd's Gumballhead, which is made using only Amarillo hops. I racked to secondary a few days ago, and dry hopped with more Amarillo.
Here's the issue - it stinks! It has a strange BO, dirty armpit thing going on, totally different from any brew I've ever smelled. This is my first time using Amarillo hops, and maybe this is a different kind of "danky" than I've ever had before. Do Amarillo hops sometimes come off this way? If anyone out there has made the Gumballhead clone before, have you experienced this?
Also, I haven't tried the real Gumballhead, so I have nothing to compare it to.
Lastly, is there another brew with a similar grain bill and Amarillo hops I can buy to compare it to stylistically (if I can't find Gumballhead)?
I'm really hoping this mellows out after anoth week or so... Brewed it on 5/25.
Thanks!
