Hey,
I have tried to brew edworts haus pale ale now twice, both times no chill biab. I made some adjustments to the recipe when it came to hop additions, because of the no chill, but otherwise I followed the recipe.
The first try was quite interesting, since my OG was 1,076 and FG 1,013. It was a tasty brew but only got like 10 liters out of it. Now i have done it a second time and on paper it was perfect: OG at 1,052 and finished at 1,011. Probably the mash temperature was off a few degrees but nothing major.
The problem i have is that the brew is quite bland. The beer has very little body and not enough hop flavor to make up for it. It also has kind of a weird aftertaste that i cant really describe. The aftertaste isnt very strong, but its still there. I was wondering is there something that i am doing wrong that could explain these short comings or is it just a case of a recipe thats not my cup of tea?
