Brewed a pliny the elder clone and it spent a week in the keg before becoming a butter bomb.
I'm desperate here. I want to brew the beer that I want to drink. I can brew low gravity ales no problem. IPAs kick my butt though... I can't brew a high gravity IPA to save my life.
Here are some vital stats:
Starting Gravity 1.072
Pitched at 62F, let free rise to 66F and let it sit there for 3 weeks.
Finished out at 1.006
2 packs rehydrated US-05
Dry hopped after 17 days (final gravity confirmed after 2 samples over 4 days). Sat out at ambient temps (68-72F) for a week and a half while dry hopping.
Samples tasted clean, even tasted clean while carbonating. I should have drank it all super early (hindsight being 20/20).
Diacetyl shows up today after 1 week in the keg.
Whats up??? How can I fix a buttery keg?
