I've had a similar issue. It would be fine and then eventually get overcarbinated, causing gushers. I had a couple bottle bombs with beers that were 8-9 month old and we're fine for 5 months or so (I had been trying to save a 6er to see how they age). Recently, it was taking hold after only a few weeks. I checked a couple beers after letting it go flat and the Gravity was .995 or 1.000. The beer initially finished around 1.010-1.012 which was per the recipe. It is some sort of bug that doesn't produce many off flavors, just thins the beer out to the point it is un drinkable. My problem seemed to be coming from either my immersion chiller or my brew pot, because I switched out everything else and even bought a new glass carboy to ferment in. Out went the buckets, racking/siphon, tubing, removed anything else that touched the beer. I even had the issue in the new glass carboy, before I even racked or bottled which is why I could pinpoint it to the two things that were constant -brew pot or immersion chiller. I was attempting a pumpkin spiced ale and it just kept bubbling away for 6 weeks and never stopped. If I had to take a guess, there is some kind of bug on the top of the pot, above the point of the boiling wort that is/was not killed since it may not get hot enough without the wort.
I haven't brewed much since, as I have been growing up sour dregs in 1 gallon batches. However I really cleaned out my brew pot and bought new copper to make a new immersion chiller.
Good luck to you. I will know soon enough if I have solved my problems. I also got a new pot for Christmas so I have replaced everything now.
