Hi all.
I've Made a batch of Neill's Centenarillo Ale
(http://www.aussiehomebrewer.com/forum/index.php?autocom=recipedb&code=show&recipe=867)
It's been in the fermenting fridge now for almost 2 weeks at 17deg.
I've taken a couple of samples for the hydrometer and it's fairly cloudy.
I was thinking of using Finings to clear it up. I also want to harvest the Nottingham yeast I've pitched.
If I use Finings of some type to clear it, am I able to harvest the yeast?
Or am I better off cleaning up a second fermenter and racking the beer off the yeast and then adding Finings?
I've never actually harvested yeast, nor have I ever used finings.
I'm going to be bulk priming then bottling. Can I rack, add Finings, then prime in the secondary?
I've had a look thru the forums but I can't see anywhere that mentions both of these steps.
Last question.
Will finings do any thing for taste? Cause at the moment the samples are delightfully knee trembling.
Cheers
