my first time experimenting with hops...
i added 25g of cascade hop pellets. Used GMKs method of putting into cup with boiling water for 10 min before throwing into 2ndary. Used nylon hop bag.
2 weeks later... The result has been very strong citrus aroma and a very cidery taste. I can't work out if it is Infected or not. All my other brews have tasted fine from the fementer, but this one is aweful. It is still bitter (and not sour), but definately cidery and strong smell. Is this what cascade is like before it is matured or cold conditioned?
