So I have been brewing off and on for quite a while and starting to get back into it more here recently. I brewed a Two Heated Ale clone from the Bell's website on 02/29/20 and kegged it 2 weeks ago and have had a couple of pints off of it the last couple of days. I used quite a bit of hops and the hop flavor that I was expecting just isn't there. Below is the recipe. Any thoughts of why it might be lacking flavor and aroma? My thoughts are that maybe using bottled water from Kroger (local grocery store) might be the issue or that when cold crashing I am getting oxygen suck back that could cause staling. Although with it being still fairly young I don't know if oxidation would be the issue. Thanks.
