Hi guys,
I am brewing a Irish Creamy Red Ale extract kit and after 4 weeks the airlock is still releasing bubbles every 90 seconds or so even though the instructions mentioned 7 to 10 days. I have googled and it seems reason can vary from slow yeast to just CO2 being released even though fermentation is complete to something possibly wrong. Any ideas/suggestions? I don;t want to bottle and have exploding bottles - or waste time on bottling it is infected. the taste seems to be OK if somewhat watery.
My FG seems to be stable but is very low at 0.008 - OG starting at about 0.04.
Included in this kit was:
1 x Mangrove Jack's Belgian Ale 1.7kg kit
1 x Mangrove Jack's Brewblend enhancer pack 1kg (contains dextrose, malt extract, maltodextrin)
1 x Fuggles finishing hops 15gm
1 x Goldings finishing hops 15g
1 x Mangrove Jacks British Ale Yeast
