Hi, first time post for me. I would appreciate your feedback on a hop aroma problem i seem to be having. I brew with a Sabco Brewmagic System, all grain. I have tried a few recipes from the Beersmith site and I am finding that when tasting the beer I am not getting the expected level of hop flavors. I use a 300 micron mesh basket to put my hops in the kettle. I chill the hot wort through a plate chiller and have good temp control for the fermentation steps. I have thought that the mesh basket is stopping the full flavors coming through and am looking at adjusting the amount of hops added. I have dry hopped with a fine mesh container in the conditioning keg with some success. I have also thought about adding hops to the kettle without the basket but am concerned about the trub blocking the plate chiller. I do whirlpool as well.
Any thoughts on the subject would be appreciated.
