Off hop flavor

Wed May 09, 2012 7:28 pm

So idk what reqlly happen but i fucked my brew day by doin a quick extract batch n not accounting for the less volume n such my esb turned into a extra light epa but the hop character was not quite what i wanted so i dry hopped with what i had lying around fuggles and saaz at 1oz each. I tasted after 2 days n it wad great. I got busy n forgot about for another 3 days. I pulled the hops and tasted beer and almost shit myself. It tasted like resinny ass bong water. No idea what happened but its been 2 wks kind of mellowed out. Still a earthy resin in the after taste. No other off flavors or aromas. Any ideas what happen? Im gonna make a ex malty epa n blend them to try n save the beer... Thanks for input

If I were to guess I would say you got a bit to much oxygen in your beer dry hopping. If you can flush your carboy with Co2 next time that will help.
Pouring - Infidel Porter, Pallino Wit
Fermenting - Till a rustic Saison
On Deck - Abbey Dubbel, Belgian Golden Strong maybe with brett

How old were the hops that you dry hopped with?
