I recently brewed the AHS IPA, the kit. Everything went well, but I wasn't happy with the amount of hops in the kit, only because my last two brews were very hoppy IPA's. I wanted to try something different, so I ordered the kit. Being the experimentive type, without without asking for advice, I dumped two ounces of additional magnum hops into the fermenter, along with the other dryhop addition. I found out after the fact, that magnum isn't a good choice for dryhopping. Anyway, I kegged up the beer, gave it a taste last night, and EEEYYYYWWW, it tastes crappy. It is hard to discribe the aroma and flavor, and I don't think it is infected, it just tastes crappy.
So, I decided to just leave it in the keg for a few weeks, see how things progress, that maybe it might improve with time. I blame myself for this unfortunate occurrence, but I guess I will chock it up to my attempt at being spontaneously careless about my choice of hops, just because they were extra. What can I say, I am still a newb at this.
