ok I Brewed Brett Pale ale a few months ago...
Here is the recipe and what happened
2.5 gallon Batch
2.5 lbs Pale 2-row
2.5 lbs maris otter
0.5 lbs crystal 60
0.5 golden naked oats
0.5 Munich 10L
0.5 Flaked Oats
0.25 Acid Malt
I pitched a vile of WLP 645(I did not make a starter...I realize now that may have been a mistake but I figured it would be fine for a 2.5 gallon batch) movies ringtones
Basically my issue is this beer had zero activity for over 3 weeks (fermentation started a little cold at 65F but after a week or so I moved it to 68F)
anyways after a month there was zero drop in gravity....It was not until after I checked the gravity for the first time that I saw any activity...I did not see any activity until the second week of January 2013 there was a small amount of krausen(foam) in the beer but that only lasted a a little while.. Now it is April and the beer has been sitting at a pretty steady 68F since January. not much has changed and I have not checked gravity....
My Question is, is this beer even safe to drink? it did sit for over 3 weeks with zero activity in a dangerous range...I am scared to check the gravity and taste it in the rare case it has got botulism...I know it is rare but the conditions were pretty ripe for it to happen...except for the acid malt addition...zedge ringtones or ringtones download for mobi
Would you guys feel safe drinking this? let me know thanks!
