Re: Cream ale?
Just like that. It'll likely clear up more after a few weeks in the keg.

Re: Cream ale?
If that's a festabrew, it might just be like that. I know the two festas i did had a bit of turbidity, but they were fine to drink.

Re: Cream ale?
If it was Festa, it should clear up in the keg in a couple weeks, if that's important to you. Looks great like it is!Jparr_30 wrote:Just seems alittle hazzy but not sure what cream

Re: Cream ale?
Looks bang on to what I serve (no fining agents). If you want to clear it up quickly you can try using Gelatin or another fining agent if you aren't happy with the appearance.

Re: Cream ale?
Honestly I've never used fining agents, so I'd have to let someone else comment. I'm still fairly new to kegging and brewing myself.

I wouldn't do that now. Don't sweat it, it looks perfectly fine from here.Jparr_30 wrote:Can I still add fining agents were its carbed now?

Re: Cream ale?
Good stuff. I think when we all start out, very clear beer is high on the check list. Myself, I found chasing that carrot was a waste of time, and the finished product was easily as good, and in some cases probably better, than if I had filtered/fined it.

Re: Cream ale?
Personally I want to try and clear mine to see if it helps with the gas. Homebrew makes me fart way too much. I don't seem to get it off cleared beers. I am thinking if I reduce the haze going in, I may get lucky and reduce the haze going out.
