My guess would be protein haze at such low temperatures, have you tried adding an auxillary fining directly into the corny? Should drop it bright in 2 days and you only need something like 50ml so should sit under the tap feed... It's not protein haze because I serve at 14°C and the last few pints ...

To take the photo I used a gas in post complete. But I obviously use a beer out post coupled to a gas dip tube when I use the float.
A word of warning. If you try this do not shorten the beer out tube but use a gas in tube which are easy to buy. Beer out dip tubes are very difficult to find.

Ever since I started using Cornies I have been very disappointed with the clarity of the beer except for the last couple of pints before the keg is empty. It has become such an obsession that lately I have considered ditching the cornies and going back to plastic. Knowing that the problem is due to ...

After brewing countless kits with DME, boiling is a waste of time and energy IMO.

Nobody on the Ditch’s stout thread seems to have any bother?

They probably like cider as well

You can make the starter at a slightly higher temperature but cool it to the correct one before pitching. Guidance can be found on the Whitelab website.

You don’t have to sterilise it, just throw it in.

Cheers WalesAles, I will try batch priming using a spare barrel as I only have one bucket. From what I've read, I will use 150g of priming sugar?
I will let you know how it goes when I've done it in a few days.

Far too much. 2.5 grs a litre is plenty despite what those American calculators say.

I should have bought them along with the other stuff !

I usually use Crisp malts but last time I bought two sacks of Fawcett. The efficiency has dropped incredibly. Next time it's back to Crisp. For the record I crush it myself and have not altered the gap. The best extract I have ever had was using Dingemann's

I usually barrel my beer but I am doing a lager now and I am using bottles. My question is, I have carbonation tablets which say use one for 380 ml bottles and use two for 750 ml bottles or something like that. My bottles are only 500 ml so do I use one or two tablets? :shock: The logical answer is...

Ok, so are we saying that it only takes out visible material, but leaves enough active yeast to carb up?

Pat

Yes

Welcome Paul!

There's no such thing as a silly question!

Just silly answers on some other forums/ social media

Brewlab is my first port of call. If there is a specific yeast you have in mind it is worth contacting them as they could possible have that strain. I've still have some unopened Boots yeast if you need some. It was amongst the best available in early days. Ask Alison at Brewlab for a slant of the ...
