Hello. I am a noob. I had a strange expierience with my second batch of beer. Both batches were a Brewers Best American Cream Ale kit. The first batch went exactly as it was suppost to. The second batch fermented oddly.I started seeing bubbles within an hour after pitching dry yeast. I kept seeing bubbles in the airlock for almost 2 weeks. After it finally stopped bubbling, I took a hygrometer reading. 3 days later, another reading, and it was the same. put in secondary for another week, used knox for fineing and let set 3 days before bottling. the beer was a bit clowdy when i bottled, but hygrometer reading was the same as when i put it in there. I let the beer carb on the shelf for 3 weeks, then put in the fridge for 1 week. I tasted it this past saturday, and has a very strong yeast flavor. After reading the post about never dumping beer, and age fixing most flavors, i havent given up on it, I am just curious if anyone has any idea what happened. OG was 1.049 FG was 1.010 fermentation and carbing temp was between 70 and 72 dergrees F.
