I'm drinking a pint of my second brew. A Sierra Nevada PA clone that I'm quite proud of.
My third batch is currently conditioning.
I've been brewing extract with steeping grains, and all of my beers are Hop Forward.
The thing is I'm getting lots of bitterness but not a great deal if hop aroma. This is despite me adding aroma hops toward the end of the boil and also dry hopping. I'm doing a 4 gallon boil and as a result I'm actually using a lot more hops than the 5 gallon boil recipe states (im using beer smith)
What would be inhibiting my hop aroma?
I'm using dried leaf hops, purchased recently.
