Can you post a brewers friend recipe so we can see it?

 

[Minbari]

Or just cut and paste the recipe in the OP.

in most cases the hops are old or the beer is oxidated or both, this can cause mild hop flavor

FWIW, when I click on the attachment (Windows 10 / FireFox), the .txt file is downloaded but not displayed. I had to look in the "Downloads" folder to find / view it.

tagging @Minbari / @Josh Hughes .

Gosh that look super tasty to me. I mean it won’t be super bitter but English ale bitter. P,entry of late hops for flavor for the style for sure. Gosh I don’t know. Welcome to the forum anyhow.

 

[Minbari]

I think you just don't have enough hops. That is a 4+ gallon batch? 10g(0.3 oz) of hops for 60 and another 10g for 30 minutes. The rest are aroma hops.

Hmmm...
Just kegged a batch myself. Tasted the FG sample and it was just malty. Wasn't shooting for high hbu. But. Not tasting any hops. Starting to wonder if I'm getting too much oxygen in wort before pitching. I let it drain into fermenter which foams it up. Then I put in O2 for 1 min during pitch. Too much?

 

[Eeyore]

Oops

 

[Josh Hughes]

No, oxygen at pitch isn’t a factor in tasting the hops

 

[Eeyore]

k. was trying to post recipe too. fail

Can't really get too much pre fermentation. I use 100% O2 for a minute on most batches

Ditto.
