One of the things i was not happy about in my 1st brew was the color of the beer. It was very cloudy and overall had a muddy quality to it, did not look very appetizing at all.
Its been a week since i bottled it. I can't see exactly whats happening inside the bottles but i do have 1 "sample" plastic bottle. I figured rather then pouring what was left in the bottling bucket down the drain, i'd pour it a empty water bottle just for the hell of it. Ended up with about 1/3 of the bottle.
Anyway, it seems like it actually cleared up quite nicely. I was not aware that thats even possible. I used a primary fermenter and a clearing one for a total of 3 weeks and figured that was pretty much the way my beer is gonna look. Are my eyes playing trick on me in that bottle or can it actually clear up?
I think it did clear up since there is a pile of something rather nasty looking on the bottom. Moving the bottle around makes it look like actual mud! Is that suppose to be Yeast? Its not floating around, its mostly stuck to the bottom but it looks disgusting. Moving the bottle around makes some of it go up and make the beer cloudy again but it doesn't look like there are chucks of it. I'm hoping thats just the left over crap from the bottom of the bucket and the rest of my bottles dont have that, do they?
