Just bottled my first Homebrew, an IPA I brewed from a Brewer's Best kit. I tried some as is (uncarbed, about 14 days after pitching the yeast), and it wasn't too bad but it did leave a bitter aftertaste on the back and sides of the tounge. Is that a "green" beer taste that may fade with more aging time?

tesilential posted:Lol, bitterness and IPA's go hand in hand. Some are more bitter while others are more flavorful, but for the most part they are the most bitter tasting beer. Yeah, I know IPA's are supposed to be bitter. The initial taste has a good balanced hoppiness like you would expect, this is a more extreme aftertaste. The hops schedule per the kit was 1.5 oz of Columbus bittering hops and 2 oz of cascade bittering hops at the beginning of the boil, then 1 oz of cascade aroma hops at 55 minutes, then 5 more minutes of boiling before chilling. mkultra419 fucked around with this message at 22:49 on Dec 10, 2011 |

tesilential posted:3.5 ounces of bittering hops would make a pretty drat bitter beer. I'm brewing a IIPA tomorrow with expected IBU around 100 with only 2.5 oz of bittering hops. Of course cascade is much lower AA than the magnum and warrior I'm using, but I would totally expect your beer to be VERY bitter. Unfortunately already in bottles, but still all good info for the future, thanks.
