Whirlpool hops were added at 140 (water cooled down wort very quickly; 5 gallons chilled down to 140); Approximately 1 pint of break material left at bottom of bucket not making it into FV; spilled a little bit of wort while oxygenating, but happy to see 5.5 gallons into FV; pitched approximately 500 mL yeast slurry at 7:00 PM |

Added first dryhop addition at 36 hours post-pitch; krausen looked like it had started to recede |

Aaaaaaaand we have a mess... Blowoff tube clogged and bung shot off, leaving lots of krausen to spill over the edges of the carboy. I caught this at 48 hours post-pitch, so hopefully the risk of infection will be minimal. Krausen was still at the top of the fermenter. Cleaned fermentation chamber, and re-attached the blowoff tube. |

Packaged into purged keg with dry hop addition in stainless screen filter. Packaged through the beverage out post for the first time. 3/8 ID hose didn’t clamp easily onto 1/4 barb of the disconnect. Get new disconnects and adapters for next time. Siphon went slower than normal and has bubbles in the tube (hope this doesn’t cause oxidation issues). |

Something went wrong with this batch. Reminds me of the "hoppy paint water" description I used to describe the Greentree beer from last year. Odd hop flavor with lots of bitterness and astringency with little to no carbonation. Carbonation has taken longer for my two NEIPAs, so I'm wondering if CO2 is being lost through the space where the floss goes through the lid. No bubbles are there and can't hear a leak, but it's curious that these two beers took longer to carbonate.
Three possible issues could have led to off flavors. 1.) Carboy bung blowoff (lol), 2.) Oxidation during transfer, or 3.) Non-sanitized dry hop screen in keg.
I am almost positive the issue came from the carboy bung blowoff, because the pre-carbed sample at kegging had the odd hop water taste to it. I'll give it another week or two to see if flavors mellow out, but this batch is likely going to be a dumper |

Dumped. Flavors never really mellowed (a bit, but not to a degree of enjoyably drinking). I've read that active fermentation will keep anything out if the bung blows, but that's the only thing I can think of where something went wrong. We'll try again another time. |
