Hey Folks,
I'm new to the beer brewing hobby. My wife purchased a fathers day home brewing kit for me last year. It's an IPA kit from somewhere. It came with a glass carboy and the typical accoutrements. I finally got around to brewing it last weekend, so it was about 9 to 10 months old. For the first few days, I had pretty good activity. I was counting one 'glup' every six seconds. So it was active. I now count a glup every 25 seconds.
Anyway, I fear I lost this batch. It looks like a muddy mess. I get that the top and bottom will get some crud, but even the middle parts are extra cloudy. I see active movement in the carboy, even after sitting quietly in a dark cabinet for a week. I thought it would settle out by now.
Thoughts? What am I looking for?
Thanks,
Mac
