I have Cheesefood's Vanilla Caramel Milk Ale in the kegerator right now, and I haven't really been happy with it. I think a few early mistakes led to a sub-par beer (not the topic of the post really - I've already addressed my brew problems elsewhere).
However, it never really clarified, and it had some fruity off flavors, so I decided to try something I read about on another site after a Google search. I bloomed an envelope of Knox gelatin in a cup of hot water, cooled it slightly, and drizzled it into my cold, carbonated, kegged beer. I purged the head space with CO2, put it back in the fridge, and three days later, I had CLEAR BEER. It also stripped a little of the flavor from the beer (an intentional side effect), so the body and flavor are a bit lighter and more tolerable than before. I'm quite surprised with the results!
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
