I’m very frustrated. And I do not understand why this is happening. Any insight would greatly be appreciated.
Made an IPA 7% abv.
Followed my usual process I’ve been doing for years on brew day. Fermented it for 2 weeks. I then racked from my conical fermenter to my 5gal ball lock. When racking it was so clear I could see my finger print through my racking tube.
I put it in my kegerator for 24hrs then (this is the only thing in my process I’ve done different) i keg hopped it while I was carbonating. I have a stainless mesh canister that I tied to the inside of my keg lid. With 3 ozs of hops.
I also added a 1/2 tsp of gelatin at the same time. I closed the lid and set it to 30psi.
Waited 24hrs and dialed it back to 10psi. I waited a 4 days then purged the co2 so I could get the lid off and pull out the hops. At that time the beer was still very murky. So I added another 1/2tsp of gelatin put the lid back on at 10psi and haven’t touched it for a week.
The beer still looks very murky even after pulling off a couple pints. And it has barley any carbonation.
I did use an ounce of citra cryo hops could that have maybe gotten through my mesh canister? That’s the only thing I can think of. But it’s been 2 weeks and 2 rounds of gelatin.
