so 7 months ago i started a my first brew its a sour that i started with roselair. just like everyone said it was going to be a bit bland unless i added dregs.
at 5 months i i made 3 separate gallons of variants and bottled two gallons.
the two gallons that was bottled is awesome with the brett just coming threw now.
The other 3 gallons i added a different fruit for each gallon )yellow plum, dragon fruit/mango)7 grams oak(soaked in water with water discarded). and 1/3 oz aged hops.
I tested then yesterday and they are horribly bitter i couldn't even finish the gravity sample. They taste like hops and grapefruit rinds and pure tanin.
Is this because i poured it threw the layers of fruit oak and hops? Will it be different when its all mixed together in a bottling bucket?
or do you guys think i should do something to doctor the bitterness before bottling?
cheers.
