Over crushed grain!!!

[Chrisharvey]

As you'll see in my pics I over crushed the grain. Super cloudy Wit beer. What will happen?!?!

 

[pabloj13]

That looks fine to me. I always have lots of trub with wheat beers. It'll settle out. If it sparged fine, I wouldn't worry.

Doesn't look that bad to me either. Let it settle out before bottling/kegging. And remember, some recipes have you add flour to the boil at knock out to increase cloudiness, its supposed to be really cloudy. I wouldn't worry either.

The crush for my wit beers looks about the same as yours so it should be just fine.

 

[bribo179]

My crush looks like that on my brews...I usually get 80-85% efficiency.

 

[duboman]

Agree with all the above, looks totally fine to me and similar to my crush! Besides, Wits, Wheats and Weizen beers are SUPPOSED to be cloudy!

 

[Chrisharvey]

Thanks everyone! I've never seen it like that before. My first use of a personal grain mill. Sparge was fine but extremely thin so I cut off my Boil kettle at 6.5 gallons and ended up with 5.5 in the car boy

It will precipitate out.

Your mill and crush look practically identical to ours - and we love it, readily clearing 80% eff.

At worst, just rack it into a secondary to clear; it does look like that will clear plenty judging by the flocc... in my limited experience.

Yeah it should clear some. Doesn't matter if it doesn't since it's a Wit. If you absolutely can't stand cloudy beer you could use gelatin or super clear etc. I used gelatin on a hefeweizen that I royally screwed up and had no chance of coming out right. Cleared up nicely and was more like a filtered American wheat.

I think if you were able to sparge you didn't over crush.

As suggested just go with a fining agent if it becomes a problem. I use a crush like that (though I BIAB so it's essentially necessary) and get good results.

 

[Chrisharvey]

How do you use a finishing agent? Also my sparge was really thin so I didn't end up completely draining my 2nd run.

See post #6 from biermuncher about gelatin in this thread:

Most of the other findings will come with instruction.
