Cloudy beer in my cornie what to do ?

Post by drdoug » Sat Feb 16, 2008 12:11 pm

Hi

I transferred my pils kit to my cornie about 3 days ago and force carbonated it. It looked clear (ish) when i put it in the cornie but when I have taken a few pints out there is still yeast in suspension.


What should I do ?

Should I leave it in the cornie to let it settle out or should i decant it back into a FV and ad finings ?


any help much appreciated


Cheers

A few extra bits of info would help us answer your question, DD.

How long was your brew in the primary and at what temperature?

What was the gravity reading when you put it in the corni?

(It sounds as though your brew wasn't finished fermenting when you put it in the corni.)

Yeh I know but it was the first time I had tried force carbonating in my new cornie and was gagging to have a cheeky pint to see how it was.

Thanks for the suggestions and I will see what happen in teh next few weeks
