I brewed by first batch of beer tonight and i dont like an extremely hoppy beer... i ordered a kit from midwest (http://www.midwestsupplies.com/honey-weizen.html) and brewed it as per instruction... steep specialty grains 30 minutes, add lme and 1 oz hops, boil 30 minutes, add honey, boil another 30 adding the other 1 oz hops 2 minutes from the end.
well anyways, after finishing the boil and cooling the wort i pour the wort through a funnel with a strainer to get all of the hop chunks out and the wort smells extremely like hops. I was just curious if that hop aroma shines through in the taste? or if it mellows out a bit throughout the fermentation and aging processes?
thank you for the help, since im sure people have questions like this all the time :/
