I recently submitted my IPA for a local tasting.
It was not my best effort. But I received 2 comments about it being catty.
I have been making beer for a while, and my stouts, pales, and hefe's have been fine - while I have not had them judged. but this was my first shot at an IPA.
It has been sitting for 8 weeks now and I just pulled another class to see and It is not "terrible" but not as good as my pale for example.
The way I would describe it is that the "bitter" hits you first rather than at the end like most of the Ipa's tend to enjoy.
Just wondering if I had a process problem with Racking - I did rack this beer and let it sit drying hopping for 2 weeks. Most of my pales, stouts etc.. I go from primary to keg.
Just wondering.
Thank s
