Hello All!
My standard practice to clear less flocculate beers (US-05!) is to chill at 1-2c for a week and then maybe filter the beers if they are going to undergo public scrutiny. I have noticed however that if I take a small sample and allow it to come to room temperature there is some precipitate in the glass. My beers are generally bright as but the last one I knocked the cornie keg over and it stirred up some sediment and left it with a permanent haze.
Would anyone suggest what this precipitant could be? I am using a bottom tap for samples / kegging so it is possible that I was over eager in sampling and some yeast was in the sample? I cant really tell if the beer has cleared due to the chill haze. I am fairly confident after a week at those temperatures the yeast has dropped out.
