This is the fourth time it's happened. This one was an IPA, a simple hoppy allgrain recipe fermented with US-05 (rehydrated) as I have done many times before but again something went wrong. It has a belgian flavor and is still strangely cloudy after 3 weeks in the bottle.
I know that my sanitation was the same as usual, fermentation was under 70f as usual, bottling procedure was the same as usual. I can't figure out what went wrong but it is clear to me from reading these forums that it is a problem that plagues other homebrewers as well. I'm now faced with choking down the remaining 42 bottles or dumping them all down the drain (gasp) I wish I could figure out what went wrong so that it never happens again to me or anyone else.
