Ready for the harvest? Fresh northern brewer for my seasonal harvest ale.

Thank you. Your most likely right. When I did bottle with primer I never got my beer this clear,and then I'd have some sign of carb after a few days. I guess I need to buy a few more kegs. Or stop loaning them out.:-)

Here is a pic. Very clear.

Usually I keg,but all of my kegs are in use so I had to bottle without force carbing. I used gelatin in my secondary for 1week then cold crashed 3 days. It's been a long time since I bottled with a primer but I used 3/4cup sugar for 5gal,and as I used to I filled 1 plastic bottle to check...

Built both an immersion chiller and a counter flow chiller(found a great deal on copper),then started on a new HLT for my brew lab 2 ;-) Last year this time I was almost finished with the first one but this one is going to be a little more advanced.
