Is this normal?

Fined with Brupaks auxiliary finings, got a layer of sediment. Then fined with isinglass and got another, different layer.



Appears perfectly logical that two different fining types would drop out two different kinds of stuff, but I've never noticed it before. Yeast was Windsor, hence the serious onslaught with the finings!

Aux finings are negatively charged to take out protein; isinglass is positive and goes for yeast.

That's me spouting theory - I've only once fined a beer and that was with gelatine.

Nah, the beer looks like muddy water - my own fault for using Windsor in a bitter. I guess it'll be OK in 3 months time.

The Scottish like to batter theirs

I think I'm about to vomit

Anyway, the beer was kegged today and didn't appear to be quite as cloudy as I thought.

Every time I use Windsor, I look at the yeast haze and think "never again", then, usually just before the end of the keg, I'm drinking clear beer and I think "this is good, must use Windsor again"
