I Love DIY
So, for those familiar i made up a recipe to replicate McMenamins Ruby Ale thats pretty famous out here in Portland for a friend for new years. All together i think i nailed it, everything tasted perfect, the issue i had in the end is it is TOO clear...now that I am making this for myself i want to try to get it spot on and the easiest way i can think to get this haze is to just force a chill haze.
So i have a few questions.
Whats the easiest way to cause chill haze?
-Dont add whirlfloc/irish moss?
-Do a no chill and let it cool down overnight?
-Add more wheat? (The existing recipe is already 16%)
-Will leaving the protein behind to cause this haze effect the taste of the beer?
This is what the commercial example looks like
Mine came out almost exactly the color, but a bit lighter because it was so clear and had nothing diffusing the color in solution to make it look more colorful. When i shook the keg a bit it looked more like this. I wish i had a picture of mine but its all gone.
