Well, I think I'm gonna put this down to COVID.....
May 16th, I brewed 5 gal of Mosaic IPA using a Norther Brewer recipe that I had converted to all DME. I did the brewing in the morning, and almost as soon as I got done cleaning up, I was TOTALLY exhausted, could barely stay awake and standing....tuned out I had caught COVID....during the next two weeks, when I was basically doing nothing but sleeping, I was getting up and checking on this beer. It had a violent fermentation, and I set up a catch jar for it.
After three weeks, I was feeling better, but still didn't get it out of the fermentation fridge for another week. I pulled it out and put the dry hops in, intending to bottle in 3-5 days, but, life got in the way and it didn't get bottled for a couple of weeks.
Tasted a couple of bottles a couple of days back, and it has a really bitter aftertaste that just destroys the back of my tongue.....
Gonna let it sit for a month or so and see if it mellows out, if not, the wife can pour it on her plants.......
