My barleywine is incredibly murky... like swamp water murky.
It was clear like glass in the carboy and now looks terrible. A lot of my beers are turning out that way too. Some will clear fine, but about 2/3 just stay forever cloudy. I could use some advice if you have it on whats my problem.
I fly sparge my all grain mash
Boil for 60 (I use hop bags to keep them out of the fermenter.)
Add Whirlfloc at 5 to 10 minutes
Immersion chiller cools my 10 gallon batch in about 20-30 mins. (It looks like a good cold break)
Ferment for a week to ten days.
Use two packs of gelatin per five gallons, wait two days.
Keg and chill to 35-40 degrees.
The first pint is murky, but so is the third, fifth, twentieth.
It doesnt clear until the last two pints, then when the keg kicks it dumps a half glass of trub and blows foam.
Is my spear sticking too far down into the keg? Thoughts?
