Okay so we finished our very first APA.
.5lb biscuit malt
.5lb caramel/crystal malt
3oz cascade hops (dry hopped with 1 oz if the cascades)
Yeast: safale-05
Started at 1.048
Finished at 1.012
The taste is a taste I am not familiar with. This was a kit from the local brew house so not very familiar with the malt characteristics.
My biggest concern was that we squeezed the dry hop bag. My fear is that we released tannins into the beer by doing that giving the beer a funky hoppy taste and smell.
Is there an issue with squeezing the dry hop bag?
