I just sampled an English brown ale I brewed two weeks ago. It seems quite bitter at this point.
Simpsons Medium Crystal Malt ½ Lb
Briess Carapils Malt ½ Lb
English Chocolate Malt ¼ Lb
Amber Liquid malt extract 6 Lbs
Muntons Amber Dry Malt Extract ½ Lb
Muntons Wheat Dry Malt Extract ½ Lb
Boiling Hops: 2 oz. US Fuggles (4.2% AA)
Finishing Hops: 0.5 oz. US Fuggles
Gypsum: 4 tsp
Whilrflock Tablet
Yeast: Wyeast 1178 Ringwood Ale Smack Pack
OG: 1052 FG:1018
Will this mellow out with some bulk aging in the secondary or should I add something like honey to help it sweeten up?
