ABV was good, but the flavor was all wrong... don't know... don't care... bears need love too.

We do a lot of home brews... most are good to great... But every once in a while... they suck! We save those for the bears...

SG is 1.058... and just like before very sweet with plenty of malt/chocolate on my tongue. Zero fermentation evident. Pitched a Belle Saison Danstar I had in the refrigerator (it is 2 months out of date, but whatever). Temp is 67 degrees... verified with three thermometers. We shall see.

I'll put a hydrometer in it later tonight and get back with a SG reading... I am certain it will be a reading of unfermented oatmeal stout or somewhere there about. I taste wort before, during and after fermentation... it has always been reliable enough for my needs. Thanks guys... I dig...

Perfect... I will gladly take WILD SPECULATION. Some microorganism has gotten to it. That is exactly the type if information I am looking for and why I joined this site. What microorganism (Latin or common) so I can do more research. It really really is OK to not know... I do not know...

Troll? No, I am not a troll... in fact, I abhor trolls... Sidenote, If any of you shoot or reload ammunition... this is one of my posts on another site (I use the same "Cash Is King" handle there (i.e. folks like to trade alot, but "Cash" always trumps, so I get "Cash" clear right from the...

Some microorganism has gotten to it. That is exactly the type if information I am looking for and why I join this site. What microorganism (Latin or common) so I can do more research. What is killing or retarding the yeast from working? I am positive that I am good on sugar, sanitation and...

In all those years, have you ever used a hydrometer? Yes Sir, I used one in the beginning of my beer making experience (maybe my first 15-20 batches)... very detailed notes and all the stuff you do (or should do) when you are starting out and learning. ... or conversely repeat good results...

Thanks... that is exactly what I am thinking... but what? I use oxy only to clean... and drain very well so very minimal (i.e. never been a problem before). Iodine in the fermenter... very interesting... I do not know about this, but sounds plausible... what would make the iodine? Excess...

Need more info. Gravity readings? I quit taking Gravity readings years ago... never really mattered to me. Has there been no fermentation since initial pitch? ZERO... NONE. I assumed the first or second yeast were weak or old or my wort temp was too cold etc. Never really paid much, but yeast...

I know I am new to this forum... and on many forums there is the trepidation on newbies. BUT, please help me think this one out... what in the heck is going on to prevent the yeast from doing a VERY VERY BASIC JOB? Thanks

I have brewed about 100 batches of beer... Been at it for over a decade... I do know how to make good beer/ale. So... not really a newbie. Have a REALLY STUBBORN batch and a question about yeast. Batch is a dark stout (I forget exactly... started it some time ago)... think some oatmeal in...
