Boddingtons clone, PM, stovetop BIAB, WLP002, icebath chill, 1m primary only, good numbers for temp and gravity, sealed 2.5g spring water for top up....
Looking back the only thing that was at all abnormal was that I did not like the look of the yeast when I prepared it. It was a little more "tapioca pudding" in the vial than fine sediment. But that may be normal... (Just made the switch to liquid yeast in the last year)
When I siphoned from fermentor to keg, there was a strong yeast odor. There was a noticable beige skum on the sides of the bucket...
Carbonation is still a few days off perfect, but probably not going to make it.-
Off flavor is a yeasty - bandaidy.
Knew I would eventually have one, and 75 is a good run, but I feel humbled and pissed off. Luckily I have a pipeline and will not go dry...
