I have something odd that happened that I cannot figure out. I brewed a desert stout and it fermented in primary for a week. I then racked to secondary on some raspberry puree and caoco nibs. The fermenter is a SS brew bucket with a blowoff tube into a container with at least 2 cups of sanitizer solution. It bubbled a little more for a day or so and then was done. It is in a temp controlled fermentation chamber with an inkbird controller set at 69 degrees. After two weeks I went to transfer to keg and noticed that ALL of the solution in the blow-off container was gone. I know that suck-back can pull the solution back into the fermenter during cold crash but I had not cold crashed. I check the log on my inkbird and over the 14 days it was in secondary, the temp never varied more than 1 degree from 69. There was not enough activity to cause the liquid to bubble out. Where did it go? Surely 69 degrees is no where near cold enough to cause suck-back. What else could cause the liquid to disappear?
