So, I have 2, 6 gallon carboys of Munich Helles sitting in my fermentation chamber lagering right now at a chilly 35F, that once bottled will have lagered for 52 days.
I plan on adding some clearing agents in on February 22nd, 2 weeks before bottling, since I have 2 carboys, I have decided to perform an experiment. To one carboy, I will add gelatin, and to the other I will add super kleer, and I will drop the temperature of the beer right above it's freezing point for 2 weeks. I am very interested to see the before and after of both of the beers.
Would anyone on here be willing to comment about their experinces using super kleer to clear out a lager? I've heard very positive things about gelatin finings in beer, but most of what I have heard about super kleer come from it's use in wine making.
Will post pictures before and after!
