Ingredients
10 lbs 8.0 oz Pale Malt (2 Row)
2 lbs Munich Malt - 10L
1 lbs Caramel/Crystal Malt - 10L
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
All Whole Leaf Hops
0.90 oz Summit [15.10 %] - First Wort 60.0 min
1.00 Items Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 15.0 mins)
1.00 oz Amarillo Gold [10.80 %] - Boil 10.0 min
1.00 oz Amarillo Gold [10.80 %] - Boil 5.0 min
0.70 oz Cascade [8.10 %] - Boil 5.0 min
1.00 oz Cascade [8.10 %] - Aroma Steep 0.0 min
1.0 pkg California Ale (White Labs #WLP001)
So there is the recipe. Checked it today (15 days in) and it has 0 aroma, a weird almost sweet flavor with a nice bitter after taste. Not a dry/crisp flavor or hop flavor that stands out.
Basically 2 questions
First, anyone notice anything wrong or anything that jumps out that should be changed.
Second question, what should I do now? Just rack it and see how it conditions? Should I secondary it and dry hop, or rack it and add some hops to the keg? Any other tricks that might help it?
