It has lagered for well over a month and is just plain BITTER. It's not even the initial hit that is so bad it's the afterbite of bitterness it grows stronger. It's sitting on the counter waiting to be bottled I'm seriously considering dumping it. Other than the overpowering bitterness the...

I'm 4 days into lagering. Fermented for two weeks. My flavor is spot on but I ended up with too much hops bitterness. How can I smooth this out? It's borderline IPA flavor, not at all what I wanted. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

It worked great. No clogs good consistent flow. Just a little bit of grain came out at first I poured it back into the top. I lost 2 degrees at the end of an hour. I kind of expected that though given it's a 10 gallon cooler with 2.5 gallons of water in it. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
