Hey guys, did my 2nd AG a month ago and I'm lacking flavor, both in malt and hops. My recipe was as follows
10# 2 row
1# honey malt
1/2# carapils
.5oz Citra FWH
.5oz Citra 15 min
1oz Citra whirlpool
2 oz Citra dry hop 7 days
1 oz Amarillo dry hop 7 days
1056 yeast
I had only 60% efficiency and added 1lb light DME
Mashed @ 154 60 min, batch sparse.
It's been in the keg 2 weeks now and fully carbs. Just set it to 12 psi. It's clear and has a nice hop aroma, but flavor is like sparkling water, just bland.
However, my dip tube did get clogged from some particles that made it in during transfer, so I cleared it out and placed a SS that I got from my LHBS over it, which caused me to open the lid of my keg.
Any ideas? If it just needs to mellow how long should I wait? It's just not satisfying.
