Jamil's Pale Ale - trouble with hop aroma

[Jims]

I brewed Jamils Pale Ale a while back. This recipe calls for half an ounce of hops at 10 minutes and an ouce of hops at 0 minutes (mix of cascade and centenial). I think I have a pretty good process, BUT i found very little hop flavor and aroma in this beer. I entered it in competition and got the same comments back as dings. I whirlpool chill with the lid on my boil kettle so I go from a boil to 100 degrees in about 10 minutes after flame out. My understanding was that this should save alot of those hop aromas. Generally in my own recipe's that call for a hop aromatics I dry hop and aroma isn't an issue, this recipe didn't call for a dry hop (surprised my a bit) so it's the first time I noticed it.

First, has anyone else brewed this recipe and come across a similar issue? Second, does anyone have any tips for capturing those hoppy aromas from late additions that don't include a dry hop, hop back, randall, or other post boil method.

Thanks

Just dry-hop it! You'll be happy you did!

Hop flavor and aroma drops out over time. I don't know the age of your beer but this might be the case. Otherwise you might increase those last 2 hop additions by 50-100%. Good luck!

-whats your water profile? mione is soft and i have to add gypsum to bring out the hop flavors.

There is a typo in the recipe. The 10 minute additions should each be 1/2 oz for a total of 1 oz at 10 minutes (http://www.mrmalty.com/bcs/errata.html)

Also, dry hop it. I do an ounce each of cascade and centennial.

I did not know that....That would make sense as I always had to bump up those hop addditoins to get the flavor and aroma I was looking for anyway. Thanks!

NOW I read this... I have a 10 gallon batch of this in my fermenter right now that I was going to keg this weekend. I guess I'll take a taste when I measure FG and see if dry hopping is in order. Damn... I was looking forward to drink some of this real soon, good thing I have a lot of Centennial and Cascade on hand, 2 oz of each for a week is what I see in my future!

I brewed this recipe also , but used 1 oz at 10 mins and 1oz at flameout as stated in the book, but there wasn`t much hop flavor or aroma at all.I just thought I messed up somehow or maybe I didn`t match up the alpha acids on my hop additions.Not really sure what went wrong, but I plan on brewing this recipe again except with a little more base malt and a shitload of fresh cascade hops from my hop garden....we`ll see how the hop aroma comes through then!This seems like a really good base recipe to experiment with.
