Are hops the only thing to blame for a bitter beer? or am i missing something else, all my beers are pretty bitter, i use mostly pellet hops and most of the recepies i use do not use the AAU style of hopping they just say "4oz" of Hop A. or 4 oz of Hop A pellets. etc i just put my pilsner urquell in the keg and drank a glass of it after 7 weeks its still quite bitter and if i remeber right i used around 3-4 oz of Saaz Pellet's and i think the schedual went something like this, 2oz at 60 min, 1 oz at 15 and 1 oz at 7min.
i normally dump the hops in before it starts boiling and once the boil starts i start the clock. should i cut the hop time down to say 45mins @boil etc etc for the aroma and flavor hops? I personally dont mind my beer a tad on the bitter side but its a diffrent story when other people go to drink it. any thoughts or suggetions on the matter? or am i just paroniod lol
