I've got a mates bucks party in the first weekend of March which I have brewed a few kegs of beer for. The last one to finish up is my attempt at a Pliney the Elder clone. Its just finished fermenting and is currently sitting at about 4C in my ferment fridge to drop as much yeast and hops before kegging.
I am concerned that the transport of the kegs 5 hours in the car and using the kegs with a jockey box without chilling the kegs themselves will mean that whatever hops and yeast remaining in the keg will result in a beer with lots of crap suspended in it.
I have a filter with a 1micron absolute filter. I was thinking I could filter it from the fermentor, then dry hop if for a week.
This will remove the yeast (WY1056) and kettle hops, but also some of the bitterness, aroma and flavour from the hops. Bitterness I can afford to lose as I missed my gravity by about 10 points, but if I filter it will it lose its IPA flavour and Aroma?
What would you do?
