I brewed a strawberry blonde ale, and it's come out a good bit hazey (noticed after it's carb'd in the keg). I'm not sure if it's chill haze or pectin, but if it's pectin, how can I remove it without removing the strawberry flavor?
1 # Crystal 10
1 # Carapils
6# Pilsen licht DME
US-05 yeast (no starter, but hydrated).
It ended at 1.010
Then I racked it onto 8 lb of whole frozen strawberries for 6 days, and I did see bubbles while it was on the strawberries this time (I've brewed it 2 times before with no bubbles).
Then I racked it directly into keg with Potassium Sorbet, and into the freezer on the gas.
Here's the kicker, I've brewed 3x 5 gallon batches, for a wedding which is next weekend!
I'd like to be able to put out the best product possible out there, so I want to make it look nice.
