I've brewed NEIPAs before without too much of an issue, but changed up my hop additions/timings in this brew. Is there anything I have done that would make this so...

    Back-hopping

    Wotcha. I just made a festival suffolk dark kit and, having read here and elsewhere that the supplied batch of fuggles hops over does the bitterness, I opted to add half the supplied amount closer to barreling than instructed by the kit.
