I used Maris Otter for the first time in an Irish Ale and was wondering about clarity. This is the first batch for a long time that has not cleared all that well. Does it need a protien rest?
10 lb Maris
.5 lb cristal 55
.5 lb victory
.125 lb roasted barly
1 oz EKG for 60min
1 tsp irish moss for last 10min
1 tbsp mash 5.2 during mash
mashed at 154 for 60 min
two batch sparge at 168 actual
Wyeast 1084 irish ale
chilled to 70 in 15min with chiller
Primary 7 days at 68
Secondary 7 days at 68
bottled for 4 weeks now
still cloudy but tastes great.
Any sugguestions? Thanks.
