re: Homebrewing: In-Process Thread

I'm slightly discouraged with my beer right now. And it's because of that damn IPA i just made. A week ago, when it was first ready to drink and adequately carbonated, it was an absolutely incredible IPA. Now, a week later, and it is just an ok IPA. I'm just surprised at how quickly that hop charge has faded.

I've read the brulosophy, and the comments from you guys, it's just disappointing when you have an excellent beer, then within a week, the hops fade so fast. And i know kegging and not secondarying will slow down the hop aroma/flavor loss. Just always surprises me that they fade so quickly.
