How similar does the smell while the wort is in the fermenter end up being to the final product?
The reason I ask: First time brew and I'm making an amber ale, but smelling the wort through the airlock it smells really hoppy.Upon suggestion from my buddy during the boil, I added the full package of hops when the recipe didnt call for that much. Didnt seem like that much of a difference at the time, so I didnt give it much thought, but the hop smell is pretty overpowering as it is now. Is that how its going to end up, or is there still a chance that will subside somewhat?
thanks in advance
