Keen to hear your thoughts, as this will affect whether I ever get into filtering.
You can dick about with all sorts of finings, lagering, dancing about a fire and praying to the beer gods.... OR.... You could buy a packet of Polyclar and a 1 micron filter.
I will chill my fermenter for three or four days after fermentation is done - stir in some polyclar and filter a little while later.
What does your beer look like ebfore it goes through the filter? I've considered getting a filter because i like the idea of crystal clear beer. When i used to bottle the bottle would get lots of time (sometimes) so they would always be clear, but now that i keg they are usually cloudy as they dn't get lots of time to condition. I have experimented withthrowing some gelatine in the keg but it doesn't seem to make a difference.
Can you just add polyclar to the keg without filtering? I know you can add it to the fermenter, but i reuse my yeast cake and i want my yeast to be usable again.
nice work on the beer, looks great!
I see you can get 1 micron nominal and 1 micron absolute. Which one do you use, or does it not matter?
... and if you cant, I can - see the difference.
How do you test clarity, Thirsty? Either my filter (1 mic abs) is broken or my gelatine/poly is magic - because I can get the same brightness with both.
