Hi Guys,
I have found my latest brew has formed a hard layer of sediment at the bottom of each bottle, which were primed with 5.5g Dextrose per 750ml bottle at approx 18c on the 12/3/20.
When agitated it breaks up into large chunks but does not dissolve into the fine clouds of 'dust' as per all my previous brews.
I have not experienced this before over the 40+ AG brews of 14Gal batches, all primed with Dextrose. All my previous brews do have sediment at the bottom of course, but not this hard chunky shit. Unfortunately I do not have records of when I opened this bag of Dextrose but I believe this is the first brew to use this bag.
Has anyone seen this before, is it a case of 'old' stale dextrose? By the way the beer is well carbonated and tastes fine, but I do not want to give it to friends as the chunks look like I'm a muppet.
Cheers big beers,
Ben
