1 Pkgs English Ale (White Labs #WLP002) [800ml starter]
This beer turned out great! Only about 3% ABV but chock full of flavor. Caramel and bready flavors some mild fruity esters and a nice earthy quality from the fuggles with a well balanced finish. I can't exactly pinpoint what the EKG brought to the table, but I'm quite happy with the overall result.
For some reason it didn't clear up though, even with 1 week cold crash. Everything I've read says WLP002 should flocculate right out. It's not chill haze either, as the beer is cloudy whether warm or cold. What could have caused it to be so cloudy? I did the same thing I do with all my beers and they all came out nice and clear. The only thing I didn't do was use Irish Moss. Does Irish Moss really make that much of a difference?
