Will it stay this cloudy

[brente1982]

ok, so ive made my beez neez clone, using wheat malt as one of the main ingredients, its finished fermenting now, and is obviously cloudy as as shown below in the pic. Is there any way to clear this up prior to bulk priming??? or will it stay this way???



Btw, tastes fantastic from the sample

Looks like yeast haze, can you cold chill it? if not maybe drop in some gelatine.

Yeah i can cold chill it if its that simple, how long for, 2 - 4 degrees is coldest my fridge will go in this nice spring weather here in melbourne atm id say, if that.

I use 4c for a few days, but at 2c 24-48 hours should do it.

edit: If it's finished fermenting, ie stable hydrometer readings, I would up the temp 2c warmer for a couple of days, then drop it cold.

No worries, ill give it a go, cheers

If you dont mind me asking, what is the reason for the 2 degree rise first?

Let the yeast clean up after themselves...yeastie housekeeping Then drop as cold as you can get it for a couple of days, I go to 0C.

Mix a teaspoon of gelatine in 100ml of boiled water. Add to the fermenter and swirl it to mix. That should help clear it up.

yes, boiled, but not boiling, otherwise you can denature the gelatin

The OP sample almost looks like orange juice!! Haha,

The temp rise first is a diacetyl rest - google it, heaps of technical info on it out there. Basically just razes up the yeasties to finish off their job. For lagers 42-45lt batches, I ferment at 12C, then about day 12 up it to 16-18C, and at the same time giving the brew a gentle stir, also dry hopping at this time. Once it's finished fermenting out completely, I drop the batch to 1-2C for a few days to clear it up nicely.
