So I under-bittered an ale and, while it's drinkable, it's also quite on the sweet side. I was thinking of picking up an ouce of high-alpha hops and boiling them for an hour in a couple gallons of water to extract some bitterness and then just chilling the bittered water in the fridge.
My thinking was that if I could make a jug of sufficiently hop-bittered water I could then add a couple tablespoons to my sweet beers as I open them and maybe take the edge off a little.
Has anyone tried this before? Is there any reason that this wouldn't work?
Thanks for your input!
