I made a Morgans Ultra Premium Pacific Pale Ale as follows:
Morgans Pacific Pale Ale 1.7KG
Mangrove Jacks malt extract 1.2KG
Brewing sugar 0.24 KG
21 litres brew length
OG 1050
Dry hopped with Summit
It seemed to get a bit stuck around 1014 so I turned up the heat pad and left it fermenting for a full 3 weeks (hops added for the last 4 days) and bottled it with a reading of 1010 a week ago. The bottles have firmed up nicely, but checking today they all seem to have a considerable amount of sediment in the bottom - certainly more than I have noticed for any other beer I have made. Is this a cause for concern (e.g. a sign that primary fermentation may have still been ongoing) or has anyone found the same thing when making this Morgans kit or similar? Is extra sediment likely to have a negative impact on the taste?
For now my thinking it just to keep it under observation as it still seems a bit early to be opening bottles to try the beer. Obviously don't want them to start exploding though!
