Hey all;
I am on my 2nd batch after taking about a 10 year break from homebrewing. Just racked into 2nd stage fermenter after 1 week in primary.
my question is; the beer seems cloudy, with some particulate in it. there are no off flavors or smells. It just doesn't come off totally like a commercial micro beer. I am leaving it in 2nd stage for two weeks to let the stuff settle, however, after bottling(and two weeks in the bottle), there is still some stuff in the beer.
So, are there supposed to be particles in the beer? Is there a way to reduce them? Again, they are not big chunks of yeast or something and don't ruin the beer. just looking for a way to improve the final product.
I have heard about chilling the wort right after boil down to pitching temp, will this do it?
Both beers I have made have the cloudiness(IPA / Pale Ale). Both are extracts with recipes custom made by my LHBS.
thanks! :fro:
