I have this beer that is that is off gassing for some time now and the gravity really isn't changing. It is a neipa that started at 19.5p. It fermented down to 4.8p and stop bubbling. I added hops on the 30th of april with recirc. It off gassed like normal when adding the hops and continued to bubble. I usually hit the hops a little before terminal. It to this day continues to bubble about once every 10 seconds for the 20bbl batch. Gravity went up to 5.8p after dry hoping because I don't have a good way of filtering samples. It dropped to 5.5 after a couple of days and is still at 5.5p. I have never had a beer keep bubbling like this. We planned on packaging but I held off due to this. My fear is wild yeast contamination from possibly the hops. I opened all fresh packages of hops for dry hoping.
It still tastes good. We are a pretty small brewery and I don't have any way of testing it at the moment. Has anyone had something like this happen? I have to figure out quick whether to package or to dump. Does anyone have any advice?
