My Ballantine IPA resurrection...

Cheers!
 
Dang that wheat on the top is super clear! Did you have to use finings? Thinking of doing something similar as a lager and I’d like it clear
I did use gelatin for first time to see what the hype was about. It works apparently. Was a test to see how much of the T-58 yeast character was stripped away; my perception it did take some of the yeast flavor but is still largely present.

I don't call this a wheat beer though since there is only 30% of the malt bill. And usually without finings this beer is damn near crystal clear with some time.

The pale ale and blonde almost wheat were brewed same day and kegged at same time. Pale ale was BRY-97 yeast, which will probably be very clear also shortly.
 
Been playing with my stout spout and British pale ale. It probably needs a drop in carbonation so it doesn't take three separate pours for a two third pint but my word, what a difference knocking out the carbonation makes.

A really rather good approximation of a hand pump, and a very pretty drink.

got myself a perlick adjustable flow with foamer, works great and you can pour an over carbed beer with the flow adjustment. I need to put a hose on it and pour from bottom of glass similar to the british cask pubs. They might make one but i am cheap. Won't be the same as a cask pour but would be close without buying some more equipment.
 
Lilac Roller by DEYA from a mile or so down the road. 8% DIPA with Freestyle "Mega Terps".

This is a blend of early harvest Southern Cross, Rakau and Motueka, plus Phantasm. Pretty awesome combo, super juicy candied lime and apricot.
