Hi, I am new to all of this but have found the message boards here invaluable as I launch myself, in at the deep end, into all grain brewing.
So I have joined up as I figure the best way to get a particular question answered is to ask it rather than trawling the net for solutions.
I have a pretty big golden promise/Amarillo smash in late primary. I have probably made a lot of schoolboy errors with my first biab SMaSH but I seem to have eliminated practically all hop flavour.
Now, it's tasting not too bad now but with no real hop presence aside from a good mid bitterness and some fruitiness.
I mashed at 158 and had an og of 1.07. Current gravity is 1.018. It's dropped 2 points in about 10 days. 12 litres went into fermented and I used about 80g of Amarillo leaf (VAC packed) mostly in late additions.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
