First brewing in years, tired to make a simple IPA and brewing full boil for first time. Here are the details:
7lb light LME
1 lb extra light DME
1lb pound crystal, seeped until 165
2 oz cascade boil 60 min
1 oz Willamette 10 min boil
2TSP gypsum
2 packs US-05 re-hydrated
Seeped grains, in 1 1/2 quart of water 30 mins, did not exceed 165 degrees
boil 6 gallons
added DME 30 min into 60 min boil
added LME to wort, boiled 10 min
used paint strainer bag as a hop spider,
chilled wort with immersion chiller, transferred to carboy , shook carboy 10 min to add oxygen to wort pitched yeast around 70 degrees, shook carboy another 5 mins
had good fermentation, and OG of 1.052
left in primary for three weeks, FG 1.012
dry hopped for week with 1 oz Citra
transferred to keg, slowly force carbonating,
When racking to keg had nice hop aroma, in the glass, not so, and little to know bitter hop flavor and beer has an odd after taste? Also, beer never did really clear up in the carboy, keep temps between 65-72 entire time?
Not sure what I did wrong, according to Brewers Friend the recipe should be just fine for IPA.
Looking forward to hearing from the group as to why I don't have a good hop flavor?
