Three weekes ago I did this recipe with a 3.5 gal boil and topped up to 5 gal after cooling to 80 and aereating the heck out of it with a paint stirrer on a drill. It bubbled away at 68 - 70 degrees in a water bath for 12 days and has sat for another week and a half at the same. I didn't do an original hydrometer reading but it now reads 1.030. I have a layer of one inch trub or more on the bottom of the bucket. SOmething just didn't seem right and after I get it all in the bottles I check and find this. Any ideas what happened? One tube WLP 001 added to a 2 day starter with dregs from two bottles of Boulevard Double Wide IPA and two bottles of Boulevard Dark Truth.
6 lbs Pilsen DME
3 lbs Golden Light DME
1 lb Crystal 40
1 lb Special B
1 lb piloncillo
5 tsp yeast nutrient
1 oz zeus
1.25 oz centennial
.5 oz amarillo
.5 oz hungarian oak
60 min boil, steeped the specialty grains for 30 min at 155
Never had one do this before and I'm ready to pour it down the drain becuase I know that I'll oxidate it by putting it back in a bucket.
Thanks for any insight you may have to offer,
