Bottled this yesterday at 1.010 - racked it into a second FV before bottling - smelt OK but boy was this cloudy - is this down to the spray malt or is this normal for a pilsner? Hoping that it clears in the coming weeks.

Thanks for quick reply - OK - I didn't realise that - so I'm looking at final strength of 4% instead of 5%+ :sad: Instructions says 1/2 teaspoon per pint for bottling - anyone know what that is in grams - I'm batch priming Thanks again

Thanks again - will transfer to second FV tomorrow - this FV as I've said has no airlock but a tap - I may transfer into it temporarily , clean out the original and put the wort back into the original FV with the airlock and then after the 2 weeks into the FV with the tap to make bottling easier...

Cheers for that - do they need to be completely dry inside and should I cover the openings with foil or clingfilm before filling?

Afternoon all - I added hops yesterday and am hoping to bottle on Sunday - one thing that's bothering me - I've already cleaned out my bottles with bottle brush (they are old bottles) and put them in dishwasher for a cycle - on Sunday I intend to soak them in a solution of VWP steriliser - can...
