Northern Brewer American Lager Extract Kit
3.15 lbs. Gold Malt Syrup
2 lbs. Rice Syrup Solids
1 oz. Saaz (60)
Wyeast #2007 Pilsen Lager Yeast (Smacl Pack)
Partial boil with ~2.5 gal, yield 2 gal wort. Cold crashed with IC, racked and topped off with 3 more gallons. Unfortunately, no hydro (maybe I should add that to my nonexistent XMAS list). Pitched, good active fermentation days 3-6, then slowly subsiding.
I've always had good clear results with just doing one long primary ferment. That said, this was fermenting for two months. Racked over to serving keg, force carbed. I figured the first pint or two would have sediment, but it's still real cloudy. It taste decent though.
I don't feel like going the gelatin or Irish Moss route; Should I pull this keg and let it condition more at room temp, or just let it sit in kegerator in hopes the sediment will bottom out and be gone in a few pints? Thanks!
