I brewed a single hop Cascade IPA and it's oddly not bitter, or hoppy, or aromatic at all. Any thoughts on why? I've brewed a good dozen IPA's with half the amount of hops and never had this problem. Now it just tastes like a bad version of shiner bock and is a deep amber color. Here's the recipe I followed:
7 lbs light malt extract
.5 lbs steeping grains (2 row for 15 mins)
4 ozs Cascade whole leaf hops for 60 mins
2 ozs Cascade whole leaf hops for 30 mins
2 ozs Cascade whole leaf hops for 15 mins
2 ozs Cascade whole leaf hops for 10 mins
2 ozs Cascade whole leaf hops for 5 mins
2 ozs Cascade whole leaf hops dry hopped for 5 days
Pitched Imperial Yeast Citrus at 68 degrees.
Fermented at 72 degrees for a solid two weeks with good activity.
Was aiming for a low ABV sessionable brew. But nope.
No idea what went wrong. Ideas, thoughts, advice appreciated.
Thanks.
