Well I have extremely cloudy beer. It's a first for me. Hoping to see what others think of why it turned out that way.
Made the Zombie Dust clone.
The difference between this beer and the last IPA that I made are simply these two things:
Made the Zombie Dust clone.
- At flameout added 4 oz Citra
- Let cool for 25 minutes down to 171
- Added 4 more oz Citra
- Let sit for an additional 25.
- Used a counterflow chiller while draining the beer into the bucket which brought it down to 64 degrees.
- Fermented it with US04 for 13 days (last three days I bumped the temp up from 64 to 70 to maximize the hop flavor and aroma)
- Cold crashed the beer for 4 days.
- Bottled like normal.
The difference between this beer and the last IPA that I made are simply these two things:
- I did the flameout hops which I let cool from 212 down to 171 for 25 minutes. And also added more hops @ 25 minutes after turning off the heat for an additional 25 minutes
- My last IPA I transferred to a glass carboy at day 10 and then did my normal 3 day dry hop schedule followed by the 4 days of cold crash and that one turned out very clear. And this one I didn't transfer it to the secondary.
