The protafloc was one tablet with 5 mins left in the boil and was t much in the way of hops. I jidy used what i had. I forget exactly what they were oops. Really should write this stuff down. I did use hop spider tho...

Haha ok will do. Yeh glad to hear that its not the wheat then atleast. Hmm. I will try the recipe again i think and cold chill just to see the difference

It was meant to be a lia fail clone 23 litres but i added some torrified wheat to aid a good head. Wish i hadnt bothered as it was a variable i didnt need now that im trying find a problem. I expect a bit hazy but this is cloudy and cant see thru a pint its much more murky than i expected...

Ok im convinced to keep it. I wanted to keep it i just wasnt sure if i was wasting my time or if even it would give me “the skoots” or something haha. I will mby give it another week out in the shed then hv a few see how it goes. Definitely going to skip the wheat from on and mby try chill it...

Well. My latest problem is my attempt at a lia fail style Scottish ale is so cloudy/hazy. Three weeks down the line. Protafloc in boil gelatine added in secondry(king keg) and the stuff is so cloudy you cant see thru it at all. Im just wondering wether to pour it down drain, i did have proba...

Well ive waited a few days and thought id try another bottle and the solventy smell is gone !? :) im assuming inwas too eager to drink it. Will wait two weeks now after bottling minimum. Its not perfect and has a lot of yeast/hop debris in there haha but itsnot a million miles away. Excellent...

Thats a great idea also Will def keep that mind in future thanks

Thanks very much. I def take that on board. Makes a lot of sense. I may have to invest in a fridge/temp control set up afterall. Hopefully that sharp taste will go with time but with what im hearing i cant say im too confident it will clear. I will let you know how it goes. Again all advice...

Oh i left out i let the wort cool overnight as didnt have hoses for my chilling coil. I saw on youtube this is usually fine but maybe that was my problem ...i jst cooled overnight and pitched in the morning

Thanks very much folks. I did read about the high temp thing. I jist had it in spare rm which is usually About 21-22deg C , i didnt notice the smell as i bottled it which i cant fathom but the bottles i opened to test def had that smell/taste. I will give it another couple weeks and hope for the...
