Hey All,
I brewed my first IPA four weeks ago. Everything seemed to go well. I dry hopped two weeks ago and bottled last night.
When I opened the carboy I was surprised by the aroma. Based on my hop profile I was expecting floral, citrus and what I got, I can't really explain that well.
First thought: contamination. I guess I am wondering if all the hop matter in the carboy as it sits leaves a sort of "harsh" aroma then once it is bottled and sits it is more like you expect???
I guess that is a big hope as I don't want this beer to suck (maybe too late). Did I leave in the carboy too long? Is two weeks of dry hops too much? Etc?
Hops in the beer:
Centennial 1.00 oz 10.50A 60min
Centennial 1.00 oz 10.50A 10min
Simcoe 1.00 oz 12.00A 05min
Amarillo 1.00 oz 10.00A 00min (dry)
Thank you for your time and help,
Scot
