Hi All,
Kegged a beer in a hurray the other night before going interstate. Got back after a weekend away (48 hours after kegging) and the beer is pouring very very cloudy. It looks terrible. I think I made a few mistakes when transferring this beer to keg.
1) I used a siphon, perhaps dragging more of the yeast cake up then the way I normally do it (through the fermenter tap).
2) I added the gelatine to the beer at 18 degrees, not after I had cooled it down.
Any suggestions for what I should do to try and clear this beer up?
Initial thoughts,
1) I have not waited long enough, leave it another few days...
2) Add some more gelatine now that it is cold (and partially carbonated?)
3) Transfer the beer to another keg. Not sure if there is a way of doing this that will improve the clarity of the beer.
Comments appreciated.
