I used gelatin and cold crashed it, didn't work on these kits, works crystal clear on all my other batches.

Got around to kegging the Brewers Best APA kit, it is very tasty and with all the family in for the holidays we almost kicked it. But, it didn't completely clear, maybe 75%. It was fine in light of that cosmetic flaw.

Thanks for the suggestions, I have completed step 1, broaching the idea with the wife. So far, so good. I have few months before I plan to purchase, as we travel during the cold weather. Hum...I wonder if it would fit in the RV?

I have started kegging and love not having to bottle for my consumption. I have a small frig which I use for cold crashing and holding my 2 1/2 gallon kegs and CO2. So, I want to buy a dual kegerator, which can hold 5 gallon kegs, but am a bit overwhelmed by the ones out there and the price...

SMaSH ale, extract, DME and Willamette.

I'm pretty spoiled, besides making my own beer & wine, friends raise our grass feed, hormone free, black angus every year. Friends can't believe the difference between this and grocery store beef.

Although, Dogfishead 60 is one my favorites, at the brewery in Delaware, we sampled their Lobster beer. It was a dark beer with chocolate notes, basil, followed with a very fishy taste on the finish. Asked, it was explained that they indeed add basil and lobster shells to the brew. Positively...

Oh, its very nice, smooth at the beginning, nice moderate hop aroma, bitterness (not too much), shows at the end, then grapefruit from the Citra finish it off. This one will be a keeper for sure.

Came out very well, clear as a bell! I liked the short 30 minute boil, but what would 60 minutes bring to the table? Thanks.

Yup, figured that out a while back, a LHBS had 3.3 lb cans of Muntons on sale, so I picked up a bunch, unfortunatly it's almost gone now, need to restock. I keep a few lbs of Belgium Aromatic Malt in the freezer, hops and yeast in the frig. Pretty much ready to go. This is fun!

Since I only make partial grain, extract kits, I've only had problems with clearing with Brewers Best kits, kits from Midwest, or copy kits that I put together using Muntons LME have no problem clearing using gelatin and cold crashing. I added Whirlfloc to the mix, didn't help the BB kits clear...

I made another APA using a Brewer's Best kit following their directions and using Whirlfloc @ 10 minutes. Fermentation went well and the fermenter was cold crashed with gelatin. It has been over three weeks and the beer is still very cloudy. So, about 10 days ago I made another batch using a la...

I really appreciate your time and knowledge helping a new brewer. Thanks.

Thanks so much, yes a session beer would be great. I can boil a full batch, does that change anything? Grain first @155, Boil, @30 min, adding 3.3 LME & Chinook hops 3.3 LME & citra @ KO. US-05 Yeast

I have been brewing for a bit now, and turn out pretty good beer, mainly IPA's. All are partial extract kits. I have gathered a few componets from LHBS and am looking for a recipe to make an nice IPA, hoppy & smooth, but not too hoppy. I have... 1 lb Dingeman Belgian Aromatic Malt 2 - 3.3 lb...

Whirlfloc was added to the boil of course, I am amazed how clear it got even before I pitched. I understand it will churn while fermenting and the settle down. I just kegged a mildly cloudy IPA, that for some reason wouldn't completely clear. It tastes great, I have no problem with it, but...

Thanks to all, I suspected only a primary, good to get confirmation.

Went to Dogfishhead, (twice), while camping near Rehoboth. Took the tour one time, they have some strange brews, like a Lobster Stout with basil. I'll take their 60 minute every time.

Just made an APA from a Brewers Best Kit, added 1/2 Whirfloc, into the fermenter, trub at the bottom, starting to ferment. Question, BB recommends a secondary, to assist in clearing for 2 weeks. Since I added Whirfloc will I get clear beer in the primary or should I go to a secondary as...

Finally, full 5 gallon batches, fired it right up, Pale Ale in the fermenter now! Nice making a full batch.
