So I just popped the top on my second brew, a brewers best red ale kit.
It seems I have a chill haze problem, my first brew had this as well (brewers best pale ale) I attributed the first brew's problem to accidentally steeping the grains too hot .
2lbs Light DME
3.3Lbs Light LME ( late addition at 20min remaining)
12oz Crystal 60l (25min steep at 155 degrees)
1oz Black Patent malt (25min steep at 155 degrees)
1oz willamette bittering
1oz willamette @ 10min remaining.
took about an hour in an ice bath to get down to temp
OG 1.044
Pitched nottingham at 72degrees.
Fermented 7days@ 65-68degrees
Racked to secondary with a 1.011 gravity
Secondary for 7 days @ 65-68 degrees
It's been bottled for just over a week and has carbonation. It's tastes green and watery, and I know that will get better with time, but I'm concerned about the Chill Haze.
Any thoughts ideas?
