This was my last brew . Boiled on electric stove with what I would say was not a rolling boil but a gentle boil in the middle of the wort. The taste is very bitter and although I've become used to the bitterness others find it hard to drink. Is this caused by the bitterness hops or by the boil procedure .I've ordered a 40 litre hot water urn in anticipation of going All Grain.
Is it the bittering hops or the problem with the boil that is causing the very bitter taste. Any help would be appreciated .The current recipe is as follows and the batch is 35 days old.
