Cloudy Beer

[Huascar]

Dear Friends:

I have 20 liters of beer (kolsch) in my fermenting plastic tank.

I have been observing the process for these 9 days and I saw the following:

1. I can watch the foam at the top of the beer.
2. I can watch the sediment at the bottom of the beer.

But I have doubts:

1. When I'm going to watch the clarity of the beer? The beer is still cloudy like a turbulent river.
2. What do you recomend me to do?

Best Regards,

Huascar

Wait. It will take a few weeks to clarify in most cases depending on many factors. Just let it sit with the airlock and in 3-4 weeks it should be good to bottle.

Just wait longer the yeast will clean up when there ready to.

Clarity comes with time. Let it sit in primary till you get a stable FG. Then give it another 3-5 days to clean up it's by products of fermentation,& settle out more. Then bulk prime & bottle. Give'em 3-5 weeks at room temp,away from the light to condition. Then 2 weeks in the fridge to get a thicker head,& longer lasting carbonation.
