Coopers APA - Galaxy Hop Partial Mash

[HisDudeness]

Bottled yesterday after a few days cold crash, racked and batch primed in bottling bucket, smelling and tasting pretty good already but very cloudy still, almost like thin orange juice at the moment, I didnt use any irish moss or similar during the boil so will this take longer to clear?

It'll probably clear in a couple of weeks or so. Time will tell.

So this one has been in bottles at 20* for two weeks as of tomorrow, the first inch of the bottle neck seems to have cleared but everything below that is still v.cloudy. Should I keep it in warm for longer or move to cooler temp as usual? Think this is a result of no Irish moss and being a bit too hasty to bottle, think I will try and keep it FV for at least 3 weeks in future. Might have to tell people this ones a wheat beer!

 

[clibit]

It'll clear given time, the cooler the quicker.

Thanks I shall shift it to the brew fridge tomorrow, not sure I will be able to resist sampling some before its cleared fully though!

Well it's been cold conditioning for a month now and it's not really cleared but never mind I will remember to put Irish moss in next time, came out a bit different to how I expected lots of fruitiness but still a bit yeasty/musty tasting which I guess is caused by the cloudiness it's kind of like a wheat beer in some ways. Still pretty drinkable though and the missus really likes it which helps justify the occasional kitchen demolition for brewing
