Well, I have this keg of a IIPA that has tasted sweet since it was kegged in November...so sweet I don't like it. I thought it was an addition of 2 lbs. of sugar along with the large grain bill (17 lbs.), mainly because I'd never used regular sugar in a recipe before. I pushed it through the primary and the secondary in probably a couple of weeks, but it seemed to be done fermenting in each.
I kegged 5 gallons and bottled about 7 22 oz's. Now the bottles are literally grenades waiting to blow, I almost lost a tooth on Sunday after popping a cap with it aimed at my face. Also, a bell jar I filled to bring to a party that has sat undisturbed in the fridge (and without priming sugar) has a solid layer of yeast sediment in the bottom after a couple of months. The taste of the grenade bottles is also way improved from the overly sweet keg.
Should I just remove the keg from the fridge and let it warm up to possibly ferment more?
