I have a small problem! Iv tried searching but can't really find the answer im after.
I normally Keg my beer, but for the first time in ages im going to be bottling a batch to give to my mates.
Fermentation finished without a hitch, and im now cold conditioning. My hydro samples taste fantastic, Great flavour and heaps of aroma
(tones of b-saaz and cascade flowers, yum). The problem is i may have under shot my bittering target.
I understand that the perceived bitterness of this 'freshly fermented' beer will be somewhat less without the presence of CO2,etc.
But im wondering if it would be worth boiling a small amount of high alpha hops with my bulk priming sugars? Purely for bitterness as aroma is fine (ie, longer boil rather than steep/FPress).
Has anyone tried this? Do you think it will work?
or should i grab some iso hop? (cringe...)
Thanks.
