Hello,
I did my first brew on my own today and followed a 25l recipe for a batch size of 20l.
I followed everything to the T, strike water amount, sparge water amount, everything. But when I got to the fermenter it only filled to 15l and not 20l batch size I expected.
I am a little worried now that the hop additions will be out and the beer with end up super bitter
I tried the wort through out the process and it was really sweet good solid wort.
Ive now tried it going into the fermenter and it is really bitter and green (as expected) but im not sure if it’s meant to taste like that.
I know it will die down over the fermentation period but as the beer gets less sweet will the hops get more bitter?
Can any body give me any advice on what to do? or if they think it will turn out just fine
Thanks
