Hello everyone.
I've brewed for about 17 years, but only recently bought kegging supplies. I am bringing a keg to a party, but want to remove sediment first.
I currently have chilled beer (34 degrees or so) in a serving keg, following a transfer from a secondary ferm (keg). The transfer didn't go so well, as my dip tube on the secondary was nearly flush with the bottom (think 50% beer, 50% C02 bubbles). The beer in the serving keg is still a bit cloudy. Given that it will be hauled in a car for a few hours, I want to remove all the sediment I can.
I shortened the dip tube 1/2" on the secondary ferm keg after the earlier debacle. I plan to prepare gelatin with heated water (BierMuncher's procedure), and add to the bottom of this keg just prior to transfer. After a day or two, I plan to transfer back into the serving keg.
I figure the incoming beer will mix well with the gelatin by this method. Sound reasonable?
Thanks,
