No offense but don't think I'll be drinking your beer anytime soon. As suggested clean and pasteurize that keg well. If it looks that creepy more than likely is bad news.

Looking for a 8-10 gallon brew kettle for gas/induction heating. Ports not necessary as u can modify with sanitary fittings. If you located around the Buffalo, NY area and are willing to part with a descent kettle shoot me a PM. Thanks, Labatts

Northern_Brewer I am familiar with the ELSA test and our standard for gluten free here In Zthe USA is 20ppm as well. So speaking to people with celiac disease however little 20ppm is, it's still to much for people with celiac. It must be 0ppm. In my case I have Addison's disease, celiac...

JMath, During primary I hold 70F, once I go to secondary I do my best to drop temp to 60-62F however I haven't seen much of a difference except for clearing. Beer clears a bit faster so you can shave off a few days once in secondary/dry hopping. I prefer to dry hop for the last 3-5 days of...

Brewgar, Forgot to ask what are you using the clarity Ferm for? Are you making gluten reduced beer or to reduce sorghum twang or another purpose? Not that it matters just curious. Labatts

Bregar, Yes you can use some of the vial and reseal for another day as long as your hands are sanitized when opening the clarity Ferm vial. So say you only make small batches 2.5 gallons. You can use half the vial, reseal and use the remainder for future batch as long as your within the...

BrewGF, Very valid point. But the first question I have is. What are you using to measure gravity at start, middle and at finish? Also what was your OG and what was gravity when you added clarity Ferm and what was FG? I only use a hydrometer from start to finish at the different parts of the...

Thanks Max42! Labatts

Been getting great responses from several people using this method. Has anyone tried this method? I would love to hear your feedback good or bad. Thanks again and love this forum!!!!! Labatts.

Tigerface Simply put if your gluten intolerant and not celiac you can use clarity Ferm to reduce or eliminate the side effects of consuming gluten. However if you are celiac do not look to clarity Ferm to make the beer safe for you to consume. Gluten reduced beer is not safe for celiacs as any...

Only thing left was beer cAps. I know it was overkill but again that was the point. I use a 12ga or 20ga for just about everything. Never let me down. Rabbit and squirrel hunting can be a bit messy tho. I remember as a kid shooting a rabbit with a 12ga slug, of course not knowing the extent of...

ExperimentalBrewer, I hear ya. As for fermentable sugars I always stick to last 15 mins no matter if it's honey or any other sugars except Maltodextrine. 2 thumbs down for redbridge. It's so bad I almost want to start a "bash redbridge" thread. Ugh that stuff is chit. All of the extra bottles...

Oh I forgot you mentioned the beer was thin. I did not see Maltodextrine in your recipe, that will fix your mouthfeel issue. Use 5oz per five gallons. If that is still to thin for you increase at a rate of 1 oz per five gallons until you achieve the taste you prefer. I wouldnt exceed 8 oz per...

ExperimentalBrewer, If the molasses was the base of your beer I would add it at either 60 mins or 45 in a 60 min boil, but your using it as an adjunct so last 15 mins should be fine. Same with your hop schedule. You will need to boil the bittering hops for at least 45 mins in my opinion in order...

Grod, Thanks for the reply. Assuming GSB is some sort of commercial brewer thanks another positive note for SINAMAR. If it's used in commercial brewing then it can be used at home with success. Thanks again, Labatts.
