I’ve been brewing for about 5 years now and every time I’ve done an ipa or hop heavy pale ale it hasn’t turned out. They all have a similar taste that I wouldn’t quite call solvent but still unpleasant.
Recipes vary but typically are around 0.5oz bittering charge of magnum or Columbus and then about 3-4oz of the good stuff (mosaic, citra, centennial, etc) spread across the last 10 minutes and whirlpool. Maybe 1 oz dryhop.
I know there are tons of variables but given that I can make a decent Special Bitter it shouldn’t be that much of a reach. My thought is that I’m getting staling from oxygen in my bottling process. Thoughts?
