Subject: Bad batch of hops?
|
I just finished off a keg of a porter I made with EKG hops for
biterness and dry-hopped with Willamette hops. (honestly, I forgot to
put the flavor hops in the boiler, so I added them as dry hops)Years
ago, I dry hopped an ale with Willamette and loved it. This time it had
an astringent off-flavor. I thought that might have been the large
amount of brown malt I used, but now I get the same off-flavor in the
Scottish ale I brewed using the same hops.
Has anybody else experienced a batch of hops from a variety you
generally like, but was bad in a particular instance?
