I don’t love the cat pee pungency you get when you use too much of certain hops, like Citra. But I like the taste and smell when used less. I was wondering if anyone knows if you get that pungency from “Too much“ of those hops in the boil addition specifically, or whirlpool/DryHop specifically?
Yes, I find that I get more of that when I add them towards the end of the boil, but nowhere near as much, if at all, when I do all of my additions post-boil. Basically, I FWH for bittering, and then do a whirlpool and keg hop addition for flavor and aroma.
