Hello,
A few months ago i brewed an IPA with cascade hops which tasted soapy, last weekend i brewed a Bells Two Hearted IPA with only centennial hops, today i took a sample and it tasted soapy too. After some googling i found other people that think these two hops has a soapy taste.
I know that it could be a number of reasons this taste soapy except the hops, however i think it could be the hops since other people think both centennial and cascade hops taste soapy and i do too.
Recipe for Bells Two Hearted IPA
10 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 76.92 %
2 lbs Vienna Malt (3.5 SRM) Grain 15.38 %
8.0 oz Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 3.85 %
8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 20L (20.0 SRM) Grain 3.85 %
*mash at 150 F
1.00 oz Centennial [9.50 %] (60 min) Hops 30.3 IBU
0.50 oz Centennial [9.50 %] (Dry Hop 5 days) Hops -
1.00 oz Centennial [9.50 %] (15 min) Hops 15.0 IBU
1.00 oz Centennial [9.50 %] (5 min) Hops 6.0 IBU
1.00 oz Centennial [9.50 %] (1 min) Hops 1.3 IBU
1 pack of US-05
The recipe calls for centennial for dry hops aswell. I have a few thoughts if this beer continues to taste soapy.
1. Skip dry hops
2. Dilute with water
3. Dry hop with another hop i have at home(1 oz mosaic, 1.5oz citra and 1oz amarillo). Does any of the hops i have home fit as a replacement?
What do you think?
