(always use Irish stew last 15 of boil)

I think it depends on whether there's carrots or peas in the stew

Yeah getting it cold once fermentation is over will help clear the yeast :thumb:

In a cornie you'll need to drop it clear more in the FV and not bring as much yeast over, you'll always have 2-3 pints cloudy as the pick up for the cornie kegs is at the bottom so anything that settles out will be first to get in the pint glass.
I will transfer into secondary and leave to clear again before kegging in a cornie, I also filter some pales that go into cornies to make sure they are sparkling bright.

TG you'll need to check on your ratio's of Irish moss to wort, Is your boil a hard boil for the last 15 mins or is it a slow boil because you just dropped a ice cold cooler in to sterilise? Which yeasts are you using some are not as good as other clearing?

After bottling I leave my beers in a warm place for a week then into storage (cool) for as long as I can leave em alone, all have cleared well, no finings etc :thumb:

thanks for replies guys, muddydisco, i will watch what i do with the cooler from now on :thumb: as for the yeast its safale 04 and i was told to use irish stew 5g per batch last 15m of boil, think i will try filtering between corny's :
