So I'm having problems with getting any flavors to come through in any way. All my beers have a certain taste to them. My IPAs have zero hop flavor and zero hop aroma. My pale ales come out very light and easy to drink yet I wouldn't call them "crisp". I use US-04 and use accurate yeast pitch rates, fermentation chamber that is very accurate.
Does anyone have any ideas or what I should look into? My wort always tastes excellent to me, the only thing I can think of is I'm not filtering my water prior to brewing. I treat my water prior to brewing with a Camden tablet but honestly the taste just doesn't seem right to me. I just purchased a water filter and I'm hoping this helps bring out the flavor in my final product. If anything id say my biggest problem is that no matter how much hops I seem to use I can not get any flavor or aroma, it seems like theres something "blocking it." If this makes sense. I have been trying for months to figure out why my beers lack any flavor.
