My first all grain brew was a porter that came out awesome but then its been downhill
My next AG brew was a Irish Red
8lbs Marris Otter
1lbs vienna
1lbs crystal 60
2oz roasted
1oz wukkomette -60mins
.5oz kent golding-20mins
.5oz kent golding-0mins
I primary for 3 days then secondary for a week and it was still dirty when i kegged it. It came out a mud color after i kegging it was horrible.
My third brew i made a hefeweizen
5lbs belgian barley
5lbs wheat
1oz mt hood-60mins
.5oz mt hood-30mins
.5oz mt hood -10mins
5 days in primary and now just switched it to secondary. Its this yellow orange color that look a banana color which is not clear.
1) What do you guys think I'm doing wrong. I have a SS braid in my kettles so i dont know why its so dirty. should i get a filter that i can connect to two kegs. Does anyone have any advice to make cleaner beer?
2) I do batch sparge and i make sure i end up with 61/2 gallons for my boil but after my boil i only end up with about 4 gallons. Am i just burning off too much?
3) My final gravity usualy comes to 1.018- 1.022. How can i get that down to about 1.01?
