I am looking for some critique on my chilling/fining method. To date I have been leaving an ale for example, at 18c for 14 days, then crash chilling for a few days, adding gelatine into the fermenter for a couple of days, then adding polyclar a day before kegging.
The whole process is nearing 3 weeks.....
As my kegs got a huge work out over xmas (I have 3 empty kegs and it makes me ill to look at them empty), I am looking to shorten my fining process to get another batch into my fermentation fridge.
I am planning on starting my crash chill tonight on an APA which has been in the fermenter for 10 days (FG has been reached), gelatine and polyclar for a couple of days then keg on the weekend.
Will this shortened method still be as effective? I assume once it hits FG crash chill away??
