Hey All -
I've never seen nor heard of anything like this, so I need to call in the big guns.
I just brewed by fourth batch ... 8-gallon stainless kettle with thermometer, and 1/2" ball valve over an sp10 bayou burner.
I used:
18 lbs grain
6 oz hops, 1 oz fwh - the rest at 20 mins or later.
US-05
Pre-boil gravity was 1.071, OG was 1.100, but LOADED with hop pellet fragments!
(I calculated the OG to theoretically be 1.084 ... without the hob debris).
The "specimen" is now in the basement at 72*, the yeast love it ... they were churing at 3 hours.
It smells like ... like heaven. I cried a little at the first whiff.
The problem is that it looks like pea soup ... I mean GREEN.
**** Have you ever seen beer look like this? None of my other batches looked like this, but none had all the late hop additions and non were as heavy (OG-wise). Thoughts?
Thanks for your feedback ... you're helping a new homebrewer ...
