Hello all,
I am almost a newbie brewing Beer. I have done about 5 batches across several years, so I am not that experienced. Almost all of them have been a 1 gallon beer using a kit which contains all the ingredients and instructions.
I have noticed that in all the cases my beer is hazy, not as clear as I would like. I have read about this and I am currently brewing another 1 gallon beer. After 2.5 weeks in the fermenter, I placed it in the fridge and 2 days later I added gelatin. I will bottle tomorrow by transferring to a sanitized pot with a bit of honey for the carbonation, and then transferring to the bottles. The problem with this process is that I can only place in my fridge 1 gallon fermenters, larger ones wouldn’t fit.
I just bought in amazon the FastFermenter conical fermenter of 3 gallons. I would expect that most of the yeast and other solid particles would go down to the bottom of the conical fermenter at the end of the fermentation and my beer would be clearer.
Here is the key question: Would I achieve a clear beer with this conical fermenter? Or would I need to add another fining agent at the end of the fermentation? There is no way I can place my 3 gallon conical fermenter in the fridge, so cold crash is a no go. Any ideas?
Thanks!!!
Ruben
