So my dad is new to homebrewing and loves IPA's. He is convinced more hops is always better hence this recipe/ hop schedule:
3lbs Pilsner Malt (30mins @ 152F)
6.6lbs LME Pils Light
1oz. Simcoe --60
1oz. Simcoe -- 45
0.5 oz. Citra -- 30
0.5oz. Citra -- 20
0.5oz. Amarillo --10
0.5oz. Amarillo -- 5
Dry Hop; 7 days 1.oz citra, 1oz. Amarillo
.... after the boil
So after it was all done, he took a hydro reading which came in around1.050; anyway. For some reason there was this white-ish looking goo swirling around in the cylander. I tasted it and it was sweet. The wort was sweet. Given the hop schedule it should be bitter as all hell.... now today after a month he bottled it. I tasted it and its not that bad at all... but my question is why the heck isnt this bitter as all hell given the hop schedule? He had to of screwed up somewhere for that goo to appear and the wort to not be bitter.... the whole time i was telling him to roll back that hop schedule and now its as if i was wrong... and he thinks he's some sort of genius brewer with a vision.... but i think he's careless and made a few mistakes... has this happened to anyone ever? do the laws of physics cease to exist on my stove?
