So earlier this year I made a "3/16 IPA" that was a disaster. First dumper in a long time.....It came out muddy (see IPA1 & 2 photos)...Unreal, it was undrinkable. I recently kegged an American IPA, its been in the keg for a couple weeks now, and I'm not crazy about it at all. (IPA 3/4 photos). I made a Kolsch in between that came out great. My IPAs are muddled and muddy....Mash ph was 3.4 for this last IPA, 90 min mash low (147-150), It has zero pop....Chinook/Citra/Amarillo....Was stoked about it, but it's has zero hop "pop" and it looks like ****.
What could be going on? I've never had an infection, doing water chem, longer mashes, low temp....My IPAs never seem dry enough and never seem to have any hop flavor...muddled mess. Frustrated.
Help.
