I might have to start using gelatin then. Cheers.:tank:

The beer had already been chilled for a week or so before I dry hopped the keg. It had been clear before the hops. Strange

Anyone experienced haziness-cloudiness caused by this technique? Beer was clear then turned very cloudy after dry hopping in keg.

Never had before but oh well.

Ok, so had kegged and primed with corn sugar then let sit for two weeks. Then I placed in keg fridge and let it sit for one week. Yesterday I put a small bag of hops in the keg and applied CO2 to finish up carbing the beer. Had a glass after all this and enjoyed clear yummy beer. Today I poured...

ok, i have added lager krausen to the kegs and left for one week at room temp.. will chill tonight and let you know results:fro:

Cheers, greatly appreciated. Ok I might just scrap the ginger altogether. Or maybe try two batches with a second small batch with some ginger in the dry hopping stage. Ok, Ill scrap the cara pils altogether. I like the cara red because I want it to have an orange ish color. Yep, Ill add...
