I'm very (VERY) new to liking IPAs and at the moment I don't like any that are bitter at all. I'm really into the NEIPA style that are straight juice bombs (Aslin Double Orange Starfish and Pew Pew Pew are what got me into it). I made my first batch of a NEIPA and used citra/galaxy. The aroma and initial fruit/citrus flavor is awesome. But it has a pretty strong bitter aftertaste. As I said I'm new to hoppy beers as I usually make BA stouts and belgians. Here's my hop schedule. What am I doing wrong that I'm getting such a bitter flavor?
1 oz (28 g) Citra at 20 minutes
3 oz (85 g) Citra at 5 minutes
3 oz (85 g) Citra at knockout
3 oz (85 g) Galaxy at knockout
30 minute whirlpool with no heat
3 oz (85 g) Citra at dry hop (5 days)
3 oz (85 g) Galaxy at dry hop (5 days)
1 oz (28 g) Citra at 20 minutes
3 oz (85 g) Citra at 5 minutes
3 oz (85 g) Citra at knockout
3 oz (85 g) Galaxy at knockout
30 minute whirlpool with no heat
3 oz (85 g) Citra at dry hop (5 days)
3 oz (85 g) Galaxy at dry hop (5 days)
