So my problem is I have a batch of brew acting wonky. Here is the what's what about it.
8 lbs 2 row
1 lbs victory
1 lbs crystal 60
.25 lbs chocolate malt
Mashed at 154° f for 90 minutes batch sparge.
.5 oz hersbrucker 60 min
.5 oz hersbrucker 10 min
1 tsp Irish moss ( hydrated with 1 cup water ) 15 min
.5 lbs malto dextrin flame out
Ferment 68°f. Let sit in the primary 4 months.
Rack on top of medium toast oak cubes and 4 cans of Oregon raspberries pureed in blender.
Secondary four months.
Bottle at 3.2 volumes of CO2. Brown sugar every time. Store at 70°+ for 1 month sometimes a lot longer.
The only variable is the person that helped with bottling.
My problem is two bottles have been some of the best beer I have ever made. Two of the bottles have been pretty much flat. And one of the bottles blew the top before the first month was up. I pin that on a un clean bottle.
Does anybody have any idea what the heck is happening?
Thanks any input would be appreciated.
