So--I have been brewing a lot of boring stuff lately--not bad--just boring--no matter how I try to make it interesting it turns out boring--I am sure you have been there. Anyway--last week AHS had that Pink IPA on sale and I figured "What the heck--lets give that a shot--that cant be boring--girly maybe but not boring". Well, it comes with Hibiscus. I found a few threads on here about it that say it is better dry hopped but the recipe calls for it at 15mins. So--my questions are as follows:
1) What flavor does hibiscus add??
2) Should I use it as a dry hop or follow the recipe or maybe add at 5 mins instead of 15 mins
3) It came with 4oz but only calls for 2oz--should I throw it all in there because it is here or would that taste like eating a bouquet of flowers.
The recipe is:
10lb 2-row
1lb Crystal 20
1oz magnum at 60
1oz palisade at 15
1oz palisade at 5
Anyway--thanks for the help. This beer may suck but at least there is no way this one will be boring!!
