Yeast caused problem??

winstonofbeer · Jul 7, 2010

So anyways 2 months ago i decided to make a IIPA.
O.G was 1.092 FG 1.040

The yeast i used was Turbo Yeast.

Why i used this yeast? Well thought it would be perfect for a imperial something.

Question i have here is, Has anyone used this yeast at all?

Reason i ask is, My IIPA has really good flavor and kind of malty. Problem is...It is so cloudy it makes a Heffe look crystal clear.

I thought at first, Oh...Just got some sediment....2 months now? I take a couple pints off the keg every week...Just to see if its getting better.

Any help would be awesome, Thanks :ban:

Never even heard of it. A quick google search shows that it's primarily used for distilling, and has super low flocculance, so low that the manufacturer even reccomends using finings when using it for distilling. I'd say you need to use some gelatin or other finings, but even then it probably won't end up crystal clear.

Being this cloudy due to yeast...If i drop the temp would that might help clear it up?
Below 30 might help?

No imput?
Would like to make as much progress on this beer as possible before i decide its doomed.

You mentioned it's in a keg, so I assume it's already pretty cold, like maybe ~40F? Going just a few degrees colder probably won't help much, but it couldn't hurt either. I'd say using some finings and getting it as cold as you can are your best bet. Do a search here for gelatin. I've never used it for clearing a beer, but it sounds pretty easy and is supposed to work very well.
