Made my first Octoberfest using
32% pilsner malt,
40% Vienna malt,
6% caramunich,
20% Munich malt
2% aromatic malt
Wlp833
26 IBU hallertauer 90 min
3 IBU hallertauer 20 min
For some reason boiled off more than I hoped for and ended up with 1.060 OG and beer Finished around 1.014 IBU was 29
Fermentation was 3 weeks with 2 week cold crash and gelatin. I keged the beer and it is now 2 weeks in the keg. So it was cold for about a month. Beer taste fine but the bitterness seems a lot higher than 29 IBU. The beer is pretty clear so dont know whats causing this. Will it fade over time? I realize that for a Lager still pretty young
