I made a three-gallon batch of American Pilsner, and used 4.25 lbs of grain with 2 oz of cascade hops for 60 min boil and 1 oz amarillo for 5 min. The hoppiness is overwhelming, almost nauseating (and I like hops-flavor, too). The smell is the same way. BeerSmith said it would have a very low bitterness level (lower than the style-standard) Any suggestions?
Also, it fermented for one week in a primary fermenter and one week in secondary at around 55-57 degrees, but alcohol level seems low; I didn't do any gravity readings, but one pint feels equivalent to a 12 oz can of Bud Light.
