Hi all:
SG 1.055 6 gallon batch
Hop additions. 1.75oz cascades @60 min. 1oz fuggles 20mins, 1/2oz fuggles at flameout.
So, it is a little too bitter for my tastes. Tastes really good otherwise. Is it a horrible crime to add an extra gallon of boiled cooled water to cut down the bitterness? I realize it will water down everything else.
Has anyone ever done this? I mean, it's DRINKABLE, but not in the enjoyable smooth way I would like it to be.
Please advise me with your experiences. If it will mellow a little with age (I just tasted it going into the secondary) I can and will wait for it, but I think that might just be wishful thinking.
