The hoppiness can also hide a lot of problems in the beer.
Having spent a lot of time in Germany I can appreciate the pilsners, where the mistakes have nowhere to hide.

IPAs and DIPAs are much more complex recipes requiring several steps post-fermentation, pils really just needs to be lagered. Any commercial brewery will have solved sanitation and 90% of off-flavors, they don't brew IPA because they are easy, they do it because they sell. https://www.reddit.com/r/beercirclejerk/comments/5dqvu0/double_ipas_the_easiest_beer_in_the_world_to_make/ https://www.reddit.com/r/beercirclejerk/comments/5dqvu0/doub...
- kd0amg 10y agoWhat steps did you have in mind? It's been some time since I last made an IPA, but I don't remember it involving any more post-fermentation work than anything else I've made.
