I've got a NEIPA in my FV right now that was mild and sweet before I added the dry hop charge, and now it tastes like I'm chewing on a hop pellet. It's just excessively bitter tasting, basically undrinkable and bad. How can I clear this out? I'm guessing it's very small floating hop particles suspended in the beer, and I've had it cold (37 degF) for the last 7 days trying to drop these particles out, and now I've dropped it down to 30 degF in hopes that would help, but it's still super bitter tasting.
Here is my recipe:
12 gallon, 65% BH Efficiency
NE Juicy IPA
26lbs Finest Maris Otter
7lbs 7oz Flaked Oats
1.9oz 60m Colombus 14%AA
14.75oz 5m 180 degF Whirlpool Citra 12%AA
14.75oz 5d Dry Hop Galaxy 15.5%AA
WLP007
I was hoping "wait longer" isn't the answer because I want the fresh hop flavor and aroma, can I use gelatin? Will that drop out all the haze? Has this happened to anyone else? I'm using the galaxy hops from Northern Brewer, and this is the second beer this has happened to using these hops. The last one went down the drain, but now I've realized it's these galaxy hops and not something I messed up in the boil or whirlpool.
