Hi,
I brewed an extract beer with extra malt and hops to create a nice dry, highly bitter, flavorsome beer with lots of aroma, with an approx 6.5% -7% ABV.
I boiled 60g Cascade for 60mins
30g cascade @ 30mins
30g Amarillo @ 0mins
After 2 weeks in the bottle I tried it... and it was great, but I did notice a very slight chemical/alcohol aroma (a bit like nail polish remover) as well as the hop aroma.
I'm guessing this could be from:
The extra alcohol?
or
Large quantity of hops boiled producing an unusual aroma from the oils?
I'm also assuming that it will probably wear off over time in the bottle?
Anyone able to shed some light?
Thanks
