This is a continuation of a discussion that started in the Lobby. But it was getting seriously off-topic so I though it best if I spawned a new thread for it. Anyway, we left off with me worried that my first all-grain batch was ruined by an infected yeast starter and LuckyDawg impressed by the hop schedule.
---------------------------
LD, it's pretty hoppy but that's appropriate for the style. It has a lot of differnt hops in it but the total IBUs is around 40 so it's not crazy hoppy. Here's the hop schedule:
4 HBUs Cascade - 90 min.
2 HBUs Mt. Hood - 90 min.
0.5 oz. Tettnanger - 15 min.
0.5 oz. Fuggles - 10 min.
0.5 oz. Fuggles - 1 min.
0.5 oz. Cascade - dry
Ever heard of a beer made by Hair of the Dog Brewing Co. called Fred? It has 10 different kinds of hops in it in 4 additions.
Anyway, I think my beer's ok. I took sniff this morning and couldn't detect any bad aromas so maybe it'll be alright.
I agree with you about Keystone. But Americans don't like flavor in anything. Everything's light. What's the point of Bud Light? I love the Amstel Light commercial, though, where the bartender's washing the glasses in the "other" light beer.
