I brewed a blonde ale kit last weekend. It fermented quickly this past week and I transferred it to secondary yesterday on some knox gelatin for a quick clearing. I have two issues.. i think...
1. I just drank my first blond (store bought) tonight and realized that my blonde smelled similar... sort of... it has a very potent smell, and if I didn't know what a blonde was supposed to smell like I would say that it smelled like turkey guts... yuck... i know...
2. My second issue is that it has been on the gelatin and in the fridge for 24 hours, and I don't see any difference. I have read that it should only take 48 hours for the beer to clear when mixed with gelatin.
Anybody have any solutions to my problems or any other prior experiences to share? Any and all info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
