I've been fermenting and serving in the keg for a year, maybe a bit longer.
Recently, I noticed that I guess some of my beers don't drop clear as fast as I think they would or should. I am using a floating dip tube so it's not the bottom yeast cake. It's the floating sediment.
I tapped a dopplebock that was about a month old. But it was sitting at warmer temps for a while. A glass of it was sitting overnight. when I poured it out there was a very notable amount of sediment in the bottom of the glass. It should be dark, yet clear and bright, no?
those who ferment and serve in the same keg...how long do you let the keg sit cold before serving? Do you cold store it before placing in the kegerator?
Sometimes I will have the kegs sitting a while, sometimes they go on tap soon after they finish fermenting. I'm not really tracking that, I guess I should.
