Hi all, This has been my 6th 5galleon batch of extract brewing, and my 2nd of this particular brew. Each batch I have done has followed the same recipe only really changing the hops throughout.
This batch is:
boil 1.5kg light malt extract in about 13.5l of filtered water, with 45g of Amarillo & 45g of Nelson Sauvin for 60mins, then adding 30g Nelson & 20g Amarillo with 10mins left. I then added 500g light malt spray, 1kg sugar, topped it up with filtered water to reach 5 galleons. I added Gervin yeast, and dry-hopped 35g Amarillo and 25g Nelson Sauvin.
The end product is a little too bitter, tastes very 'beery', but has absolutely no fruitiness or hoppiness cutting through (for those familiar with IPA's in the UK, think Thornbridge Jaipur/Wild Swan/Kipling on tap, Oakham Citra, Hawkshead Windermere Pale Ale, etc.)
Any ideas on what I'm missing or doing wrong? Thanks!
