hello all! I brewed "MADE" ! a Muntons American amber 7 days ago. I had bucket in basement and noticed it was taking very long to see airlock activity... wrapped blankets around it and looked like fermentation took off. lock was still active today i opened to get gravity reading and saw something I've never seen . no foul odor at all? I scraped some foam off with a sanitary spoon and it felt gooey... yeasty ? The og I had was 1.063 . I added 1 lb of corn sugar to the malt when i mixed the wort. My reading today was 1.044?? Not close to where it should be at around 1.014. Im an extract brewer not all grain but the usual 2.5 gal steeped grains etc . I have 27 kits brewed and this is the first time I've ever encountered this. Never had to dump a batch! Did run into over carbed issues a couple times lol. Don't want to dump! Any thoughts are much appreciated! PS crazy weather right now in jersey!!
