I just brewed a German pils (prima pils clone). Pulled my first pint tonight and it tastes more like a Helles.
there is almost no noticeable bitterness despite near 40 calculated ibis via beersmith (tinesth)
I used dry yellow as my target water profile and it projected a bitter beer.
final gravity ended around 1.008
i focused to ensure my transfer was as free from O2 as possible.
this seems like a recurring issue for me especially when trying to brew this style. My west coast DIPA seem to have the full bitterness expected.
any ideas on what is happening here?
