I think not purging the keg of oxygen before racking is what did it. I referenced the article more to illustrate the symptoms, not so much the method. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Home Brew mobile app

Thanks for all the replies, it looks like my latest intuition is correct....oxidation. The article in the link below sums up exactly what I am experiencing. Makes sense now that my other two IPAs suffered the same fate, guess I didn't want to see the problem, was lazy, etc... I'll resurrect...

Did you receive your kettle?

For carbonation I force carbed at 30psi, then set to 12 psi for about 3 days. After that, I turned the psi down to about 8 for serving. I think my issue has something to do with CO2. It seems like the hops issue presented itself when I changed psi to 8. I set it back to 12 tonight and I swear...

So I don't think temperature is the issue. I tried the beer at 40, 50 & 60 with no significant difference in flavor or aroma. I kegged this batch pretty quickly, kettle to glass in 2 weeks. However, I'm very skeptical lack of aging could have cause this kind of nose dive. Any other thoughts?

Sounds like temperature is the consensus. I'll let the kegerator/beer warm up and report back. Thanks!

Kegerator is sitting right at 40, I think that is about right for serving.

I've come across something that irked me quite a bit, so I thought I'd see if anyone else has experienced this. I recently brewed a delicious IPA, this beer was great right out of the fermentor. After having the beer in the keg and on the gas for about a week, the hops aroma/flavor is muted by...

Has anyone had experience buying equipment from this Amazon retailer? I'm looking to upgrade my kettle, and it seems their kettles offer the same specs at a much better price than say NB, Midwest, Morebeer, etc. Here is a link to the kettle I'm considering for full volume extract...

Yeah, but I set steep/whirlpool optimization to 0% because I'm going to hopstand <=170, which I hope discourages isomerization. Sent from my SCH-I605 using Home Brew mobile app

Looking for any feedback on how you think this recipe may turn out. From what I've read extract brews don't need to be boiled for 60 mins unless you need the IBUs. Beersmith estimates an IBU of 58.9 and ABV of 6.8%. Planning to do the hopstand between 160 -170 to minimize additional IBU.
