How many pints do I pitch down the drain before I have a decent pour? I hit the keg with gelatin 4 days ago in the upper 40's and then dropped it to 34f since then. Tastes like **** and it's really hazy but I don't want keep throwing it away if it just need more time. Sent from my iPhone...

Doesn't happen every time but a few times a year I'll get a cold that messes up my taste for ipa's. Nothing like cracking your favorite ipa and having it taste like **** and realizing its cause your going get sick. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Here's what I have after another week and a few more pours. I'm satisfied at this point. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I brewed a pale just to harvest mine. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

See I used reused yeast and wondered if that was it. Pisses me off too cause I have an ipa fermenting with the same yeast and can already tell it's going to be the same issue. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I don't remember exactly but I didn't do anything different. As far as the chilling I get it down to 70 in about 30 min, like usual. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Could washed yeast have anything to do with it? Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

It's AG. I got 80% efficacy out of it and have been mashing a bit warmer these days so I can't imagine that would be an issue. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

I have done nothing different with this batch than previous batches except try more clearing techniques. I use moss in the boil, I added gelatin to the keg after it was chilled, and cold crashed at 35f for almost a week. It's still cloudy as heck, it's just a bitter so it's not the hops. What...

Ok, but maybe I'll do two of Amarillo since I have more of that. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew

Lol, ok tell ya what I'll dry hop an ounce of chinook or Amarillo cause that's what I have left but I'll let you choose. Sent from my iPhone using Home Brew
