I do filter but still find it cloudy
I had the same issue with whir flock tabs that were well over 12 months old. Changed to Brew-bright and no issue. I hope Brew Bright doesn't have the same issue coz it will take me awhile to use the whole container.Black Devil Dog said:I'm not sure if Whirflock loses its effectiveness over time, but my last 2 batches haven't cleared anything like they usually do when I whirlpool. I'm going to use some fresh whirflock on my next batch and see if that makes a difference.
Keep the lid on your BrewBrite and it will be fine.nosco said:Changed to Brew-bright and no issue. I hope Brew Bright doesn't have the same issue coz it will take me awhile to use the whole container.
You may have been using too much if that is happening. It's a bit of a balancing act.Rocker1986 said:I added the gelatine to the fermenter while cold crashing, then bottled it a couple of days later. Yeast sediment was still fluffy and disturbed easily. Maybe I didn't leave it in there long enough. :unsure: But the yeast drops quick and well enough on its own anyway. I've yet to bottle anything I've used isinglass in so not sure if it has the same results. In any case I won't be using gelatine again in a hurry.
It can get confusing.DJ_L3ThAL said:Is Brewbrite, Brewbrite?
I'm so confused as I have seen people mention Brewbrite, Polyclar Brewbrite, Polyclar and Polyclar PVPP......
AFAIK Polyclar needs to be added to the fermenter, but Brewbrite (Polyclar) gets added similar to Whirfloc.
Or is it just the same thing, used differently to get different results?
I've been using Irish Moss and Whirfloc and get pretty damn clear beers into the cube.
You may be right there, I don't know. In any case, the isinglass must have dropped the yeast like a stone in the FV. I had very little yeast haze in this keg on its first day (fast carbonated it, new toy blah blah..). It's been in there a week now and didn't even pick up any yeast in the couple of glasses I had over the weekend. Pretty happy with that so I reckon I'll keep up with the isinglass.GalBrew said:You may have been using too much if that is happening. It's a bit of a balancing act.
Are you using the dry or the liquid isinglass? I tried the dried a few times, prepared it as per the instructions and it didn't seem to do much more than gelatine.Rocker1986 said:You may be right there, I don't know.

"Isinglass was originally made exclusively from sturgeon, especially beluga, until the 1795 invention by William Murdoch of a cheap substitute using cod. This was extensively used in Britain in place of Russian isinglass. The bladders, once removed from the fish, processed, and dried, are formed into various shapes for use."Rocker1986 said:isinglass comes from swim bladders of tropical fish and gelatine comes from hooves etc.
