|
|
So this sounds crazy but I brewed the hazy IPA on march 30, made a yeast starter and pitched what I believe to be the right amount of yeast, aerorated well with a wine degasser, it has been held constant at 68F for the fist week then up to 71C ever since in a fermentation chamber. Every few days I go out there expecting it to be done and it is still bubbling out of the airlock. I don't know what else that could mean other than it was just a really slow fermentation. I have a 1/2" blowoff tube set up in a jug of starsan and its a small bubble once about every 15 seconds. It seems to be at the same rate for the past week as well which is odd. I did have a nice aggressive fermentation 24 hours after I pitched but I have never had a beer take this long to finish. Have you ever experienced this or have any thoughts?

What did the gravity look like over time? I.e. what was the gravity on day 1, day 7, day 14, etc.
A bubbling airlock doesn't necessarily mean it's fermenting. It could be warming up and it's gas coming out of solution. What matters is the gravity reading.
