Hi guys,
Bottled a JSGA clone over the weekend using the NT brewing fresh wort kit and dry hopped 18g amarillo 4 days before bottling. Just looking for a little advice on the dry-hopping thing, as when I did my last hydro tastings and at bottling, I could still really taste the 'green' plant-like taste in the brew. The hops were right there on the front of the palate, but there was definitely an aftertaste. I assume that this will mellow after time in the bottle, but what is the cause of this - did I add too much, or too late etc?
Thanks guys - as always, the wisdom is appreciated.
