DougA2 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 My latest brew is cloudy in the fermenter on day 4. The Brew Enhancer I brought was a solid block and I had to break it up with a hammer and then the boiling water dissolved it. When I finished mixing I noticed several clumps of what I assume was the enhancer floating and the brew is cloudy. Do you think it's going to work?

Scottie Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Hey Doug As for the cloudiness I wouldn't worry. The two brews in the picture are idenitcal in terms of final colour, just 1 week apart in age. . As you can see they clear up nicely with extra time, the one on the left was coming up to two weeks in the FV and ready for bottling The one on the right had fermented out and was in the cleaning up phase. I'd me more concerned about infections affter using the hammer on the Beer Enhancer. When it clears up smell it and taste it to make sure its OK.

Guest Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Time if not temperature will see it clear. This is one of the reasons I cold condition all of my Ales for 5-7 days. makes for some very clear beer. [cool] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne (Captain Yobbo) Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Nearly every brew at bottling time is cloudy after a few weeks they are clear nothing to stress about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordEoin Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Some beers are meant to be end up cloudy anyway like a hefeweizen or witbier. But any beer will be cloudy at day 4 and the lumps will all get eaten up. just leave it alone, sit back, and have a beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
