hey everyone,
writing this one out as I've been brewing a ton of NEIPAs lately and noticing that Im getting some considerable hop harshness from a lot of my brews. Im sure if its one particular hop that is throwing it or what but hoping for suggestions.
My grist is pretty easy
77% 2row
19% white wheat
3% flaked wheat
used a London Ale III yeast strain
my hops where:
Amarillo 1 oz for 10min
Citra 1oz for 5min
Citra 2oz hopstand at 170degrees (30min)
Galaxy 6oz hopstand 170degrees (30min)
dry hop:
Galaxy 2oz
Motueka 1oz (both for about 4days)
In all this brew fermented almost a week and admittedly im tasting a very "new" beer, but these types tend to be ready very quick.
In any case.... I've noticed a certain hop harshness that I cant seem to get rid of. Really... where I should be bursting with fruit and other hop characteristics, it doenst seem I do. And its because I think of the hop harshness.
thoughts? Its actually starting to turn me off to this style even though I love these beers
