Not sure how to phrase this but here goes.
I don't like bitter super hoppy beer. But I like a variety of beer styles as long as they aren't too hoppy.
Can I jack with the boil times or put less hops in early and go heavier late in the boil to control the level of bitterness ?
ex. Original recipe calls for 1 oz hops ( I made this profile up so don't worry about accuracy)
1/2 oz 60 min
1/4 oz at 30 min
1/4 oz at 10 min.
What kind of results would I expect if I changed the boil profile to....
1/4 oz at 60 min
1/4 oz at 30 min
1/2 oz at 10 min.
Same amount of hops, just less at the beginning (bittering) and more at the end (aroma). Will this change anything but the flavor of the beer?
What if I simply cut the amount of hops in half but kept the original boil profile ?
Thanks!
