I did a Red Irish Ale All Grain on my new Anvil 10.5 everything went pretty well up to fermenting and then it started going down hill. The gravity dropped pretty quickly and there was no noticeable activity during the process. ( Little to no visible bubbling into the blow off bottle) It reached final gravity in less than 14 days. The last several days it was steady at 1.012. So I went ahead and kegged then forced carb using a carb stone lid for 24 hrs. During first pour I had good carbonation but it had an after taste of being flat and dry. No malt or hops taste at all, almost like just drinking red water!!!!
Anyone have suggestions on what happened or Didn't happen????? And any way to bring this back around to a drinkable brew??? I was thinking of doing a sort of dry/cold hop and place some in the keg for a short period of time to help infuse some flavor into it.
Thanks in advance!!!
