I couple months ago I brewed an english bitter and something must have went seriously wrong. I actually split a 15 gallon batch with 2 other people and the other people said theirs were pretty good. Well, last weekend I kegged and carbed it and pulled a pint last night. There was no bitterness what so ever and it was sickenly sweet. I can possibly blame under attenuation from a cold basement for the sweetness but have no idea why there would be no bitterness in only my 5 gallons.
I am considering taking about a 1/2 gallon of water and boiling it with 1-2 ounces of hops for 60 minutes then adding that and the beer back into a fermenter with some more yeast.
How does that sound and does anyone have any idea what could have happened to my 5 gallons to make it so much different that the others when they came from the same mash and boil.
