Cloudy Wherry

Post by lordylord » Thu Jan 31, 2008 2:52 pm

Hello All,

Started primary fermentation of my Woodwood Wherry about 3 weeks before christmas. Took almost 2 weeks to finish fermenting (finally ended at 1015). Added finings, waited a couple of days and then transfered to my top tap king keg. Its been in there for a month and it is still cloudy. The beer looks good and smells ok but for some reason is still cloudy. Last friday I added some more finings and another 2oz of sugar to repressurise the keg.
I'm going to have another taste tomorrow, but if it is still cloudy could anyone suggest how to clear the beer??
Its been 7 weeks and im desperate for this to work!!

Cheers everyone and I look forward to expertise!!

Lloyd.

My wherry is still very cloudy also, I started it on boxing day. What does your Beer taste like? Could you drink it cloudy? You could always tell peoples its a special wheat beer or something if it tastes ok :)

You could always filter it.

Thanks for the speedy replies, the beer doesnt taste so good either, it has a strong bitter like taste, i guess this could be the particles in the beer or perhaps I need to add more sugar??

Anyway tonight is the grand tasting ceremony so i'll keep you all posted!!

thanks again!

Oh can anyone suggest a decent kit beer that produces a straw coloured hoppy beer, around the 4.5 % level??

I am brewing a coopers IPA which is tasting very good already, should be quite hoppy and light. It will probably work out to about 4% though

Mines slightly cloudy too despite adding finings but it smells and tastes good, quite hoppy but needs more mouth filling malt for me. it doesn't stop me drinking it though, besides I need the barrel soon for my Coopers IPA!


:wink:
