Hi fellows,
I brewed an American Pale Ale, with the following recipe;
But finally, this beer has no body, which I supposed is for the Pilsner malt instead of Pale Malt, but I use a high PH 5.5 and my mash was enough high for obtain some unfermentables...also I got an acid flavor, but it is not an off-flavor, it is a flavor from the hops, but I do not know how to change my recipe to ensure a good fruity-citric beer, with good balance, bitter but fruity....How can I change my recipe???
I must say that for the steep/Whirpool addition of Amarillo hops, I start my chiller until I cool my wort to 149f and throw the Amarillo hops, then stand the wort for 20 minutes with those hops, keeping the same temperature, and then I started again the chiller to cool this to 68ºF.
I use temp control fermentation, and I do not feel off flavors, but the flavor of the beer is disgusting.
