Hello all,
I've just brewed my first homebrew, a pale ale, and will be bottling in a few days. Just wondering if it should still be this cloudy in the fermenter. Its got a nice colour to it, but I sure can't see through it. What can I do for next time to make it clearer? Maybe I didn't cool it quick enough after the boil? (It took about twenty min to cool to pitching temp.) Its been in there for 2 weeks, yeast looks like its settled out nicely.
And can you filter the beer before bottling? Does that make sense, or would you remove the yeast or something? How about filtering when pouring from the bottle to the glass?
Thanks.
