Brewed a Substance IPA clone about 6 weeks ago. 10 gallons split to two batches. Dry hopped in two stages during the primary in both batches. Batch #2 sat in primary about 2 extra weeks before dry hoppping. cold crash 2 days before kegging in both instances first batch - no issue. first batch in keg for about 2 weeks at 12 PSI and it survived about 2 weeks after carbonation. Second batch, carbonating while 1st keg was being consumed. Week one of consumption of second keg, no issues good color, great flavor, much like the first keg. BUT:::: week 2, beer turns gray, otherwise smells great, taste is a bit metallic (maybe over carbed) but otherwise is not bad nor does it make me sick. I've consumed a gallon+ of the gray beer with no ill effects. I just have NO idea what is gray in my beer, or why it showed up about 3 weeks after kegging. ANY ideas??? thanks in advance for your input.
PS: i have poured a couple of growlers off wondering if it was just sediment at the bottom of the keg. Nope, beer still gray.
