On my mission to brew the perfect pilsner I have struck an unlikely obstacle. I have been mainly bittering with NB hops or even POR, then using saaz pellets for aroma, flavour and even dry hopping. However, all three attempts at this beer, although coming with fairly good results, have an unusual aroma that i would not assiciate with saaz.
The best way i could describe the aroma is grassy, maybe floral, definately not spicy. Nothing at all like the aroma of pilsner urquell or other pilsners i have tried.
Is this because i am using pellets? Is there a better way of acheiving the spicy flavour/aroma of saaz?
Is there any words of wisdom out there?
thanks guys
