Hello all,
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated! This is my second batch ever, the first one went well and I was looking forward to bottling this tomorrow. It is a Gumball Head clone. Partial mash, with 6 lbs wheat DME, amarillo hops, partial boil. I used Safale 05 without a starter, it began fermenting within hours, like my first batch, went from 1.060 to 1.018, which I thought be a little high for my final gravity. Anyway, it was in the primary for 10 days, I racked to secondary, and then dry hopped it with 2 oz of amarillo in a strainer bag for 4 days. I noticed white blobs on top of the beer in the carboy a couple days after the dry hopping, today I took a look and it seems to have gotten much worse. The temperature in the apartment is between 60-70 degrees, but it got >70 yesterday. Does anyone have any idea whats going on?! Was my dry hop bag not sanitized? I use Star San to sanitize everything, including the bags, thief, scissors/vacuum sealed hop bags, etc. etc.
HELP! I'd hate to completely waste this beer...
