Hey everybody,
I'm just trying to troubleshoot my first batch. Had a small boil over during the 60 min boil, and when I siphoned to the primary, I didn't seal the lid 100% for an hour afterwards (I noticed this after the fact, and sealed it all the way). After 2 weeks, I noticed that when I opened the plastic carboy that it had a slight funk to it with a small white milky substance floating in it.
I bottled anyway, and used a little more priming solution than was called for, as I didn't hit my expected FG. Two weeks later (today), I cracked one open and it smelled fine. I measured the FG again and it had dropped enough to bring me into the 5% range.
The funk was gone, but the beer tasted dry or somewhat overcarbed. It lacked the body of most beers that I'm used to.
Have I already answered my question, or is there something else that could explain the final product? Have any of you experienced a similar outcome?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Best,
