My usual American Pale Ale recipe calls for 1 oz of Willamette 60 min bittering hops, then 1 oz of Cascade at 30 min, 15 min, knockout, and dry hopped. But during the hop shortage, the homebrew shop owner suggested 1 oz of Galena instead of all the cascade additions. I kept the 1 oz of Cascade at knockout and dry hop, but substituted Galena for the 60 min Willamette, and left out the 30 and 15 min Cascade. I completely forgot about how hop alpha acid utilization goes up the longer it's boiled. I had an incredibly bitter Pale Ale. The bitterness completely overwhelmed any aroma and flavor the cascade was supposed to add. Rookie mistake, I know, but worth repeating as a good reminder. :-) Just don’t make the same mistake I made.
