This is my GF brew #3. The expensive official BrewDog Punk IPA kit.
It's had 2 weeks carbonating at room temperature and about 3 weeks conditioning. It's gone very dark brown. I'm sure it was a heck of a lot lighter when I bottled it.
Also the sediment in the bottle is almost black. I tried to show this in the photo, but not sure it came out. In the photo I gave the dregs a bit of a shake, and you can maybe see it has turned the froth a purplish colour.
Also, but possibly not related, the carbonation is weird. It was really fizzy like a turbo cider and the head did not dissipate, just kept growing and growing. If you've ever been to Redcar, it looked like one of the special pints of John Smith's that they serve in the Pig and Whistle. I did put a fair bit of sugar in for carbonation, about 140g in 23L, but I've used the same in other beers and they've not looked like this.
So is this something bad like oxidation or infection. I must admit that I have been a little blasé with my sterile technique and maybe not so gentle with transfer to bottling bucket and mixing in the sugar solution.
It doesn't taste too bad though. Not much like Punk, but fairly pleasant.
