beer won't clear

Post by 2thumbs » Tue Jun 16, 2009 1:28 pm

Recently attempted my first brew a 36 pint woodefords nelson's revenge.It was transferred to the keg exactly 4 weeks ago and although it tastes great it is still not clear,and am always reluctant to drink cloudy beer.

Woodforde's/Munton's kits are well known to have problems with clearing and/or fermenting correctly, as you'll discover if you check through the various forums.

Did you add finings after primary fermentation was complete? If so, can you add a second dose of the finings used? Did you remember to prime the keg with the required amount of sugar before filling it? Just a few points but, the problem is quite likely to be the old Woodforde's/Munton's one. :) Give it another few weeks to see if it clears any more. If the beer smells and tastes good, you can drink it.

My Nelson's Revenge took a lot longer to clear than the Admiral's Reserve and Wherry.

I would suggest you leave it for a further 4 weeks.

You will be rewarded. :wink:

Thanks for replies,did not add finings at any point as not supplied with kit ,but did add sugar before secondary fermentation.Will leave it another month and see what happens.
