I made a pretty basic amber ale. Its the third time I have made this.
2 lbs Specialty grains
7 lbs DME
Wyeast 1056
Hops (basic schedule)
I made it two weeks ago last saturday. It spent 7 days in the primary. Yes, it was still fermenting when I transfered it to secondary.
Fermentation temps, including secondary have averaged 58-62 degrees
The day after I trasnferred it, I walk into the garage and there is beer all over the floor. It is fermenting HARD.
EIGHT days later, I'm still getting 15 bubbles a minute. It looks like it can go for another week.
One of the problems is I fill my airlocks with 160 proof alcohol. I can't smell if it seems infected. So far it looks like a normally fermenting beer, but I have never had one (out of 10 or so batches)ferment this hard for so long.
Last weekend (when I put this one in secondary) I made two other beers. A dead guy clone and a cream ale, both extract. Fermentation temps have been about the same for both beers. These two beer are acting normally and are about ready for secondary. Meaning that tey are now down to 2 or 3 bubbles a minute
Any ideas or comments?
Thanks
