Hey peoples, Ive got a batch i need to have ready for Xmass. The keg is going for a 250km trip on Xmass day, so i want it fairly clear.
I want to add gelatine and polyclar but not sure what i should add first? I dont secondry as i only have one fermenter that can handle 50L batches.
Ive just turned the fridge down, so it should be down to 3C in two days. That'll give me 8 days to clear it and carb.
My final gravity is 1.014. Beersmith says i should have a FG of 1.010, any ideas why its so high? Here is the recipe, it was mashed at 67C.
