HELP! Following directions for my brown ale which says to bottle after 5-7 days in secondary. It has been refrigerated during that time at ~63degrees and I pulled it a couple of days ago to let it settle prior to bottling but it is CLOUDY big time (hops were sprinkled on top per brew store recommendation). Thought I could clear up with addition of gelatin finings so added 1/2t to my 5g carboy. Now I'm seeing some info that I might have screwed up my chances for carbonation (I use dextrose for bottles).
I obviously can put it back in refrigeration for as long as needed for cold crashing but I need to know what my chances for good carbonation are now. And what is solution if I have a real problem??
Thanks in advance!
