My lhbs were out of torrified wheat but sold me a packet of heading powder instead, which helps with head retention. This is for a graff...
It tells me to add the powder one day before kegging. My beer is clearing in primary on the yeast cake, at which point I always move to my work surface the day before, allow to resettle, and then keg. Stirring the powder in fully will disturb the cake too much and my only other secondary is my keg. I don't want to go from fermentation bucket to keg, return to washed bucket, stir in powder and then put it back in the keg...too much air exposure and hassle in my opinion. Am I okay to add the powder when kegging?
