I haven’t brewed in a few years and I need some advice. I got a little careless with my hop additions; once the kids got up I had a few distractions…
Brown Ale
9 lbs- Maris Otter
1 lb- Biscuit
2 lbs- Amber
1 lb- Crystal 60
.3 lb- Chocolate
Wyyeast London Ale
Nugget and Willamette hops 1 oz each
6 gallon boil
pre-boil gravity: 1.040
OG: 1.052
I meant to divide my Nugget hop additions into .5 oz for 1 hour and .5 oz for 30 minutes but it all went in at the beginning. Willamette went in for 20 and 10 for roughly 49 IBUs. I want to believe that this will still can be a malt for forward beer but I have my doubts. Should I let this ride as is and hope for the best or go all in for a Brown IPA and dry hop? I‘m just not sure if it will seem too bitter with only the Willamette additions and nothing at the end for aroma. Any thoughts?
