To Keg Or Secondary?

jdlev · Jul 12, 2011

I've got a pumpkin ale that is 3.5weeks since yeast pitching. Should I leave it in the primary, secondary it, or put it in a keg and drink it?

I want to clear it up. So I was going to add gelatin to it and then filter it. If I add the gelatin, can I just add it to the primary, or is that bad because of the yeast cake? I also have polyclar, so I'm not sure when to use that...maybe in the keg?

i would secondary and then chill it. but that is just me.

I would rack to keg, chill it down to near freezing for a couple days, then throw some gelatin in, wait 4-5 days, pull out the first half pint and discard. I think that would be easiest and most effective route.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks
