Forgot The Kettle Finings.

Will it ever clear? 14 days now.

 

[The Baron]

Simple answer is yes eventually.
Try some Gelatine if you are worried and need a speedy clearance

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Cold crash it for 4 days

Call it a `hazy' whatever. Sorted.

Or get a pewter tankard. Also sorted.
Did the same thing myself with my last brew. Not really worried but it was significantly clearer than yours.

I think everyone has done it once. Lesson learned when I did it, keep the collagen in a jar by the door now.

 

[Jim Brewster]

My last brew was the first time I've used them

 

[Agentgonzo]

Call it a `hazy' whatever. Sorted.

Before the current craze for hazy IPAs, I just used to call them 'naturally cloudy'.

I quite often forget to put my protofloc in at 5mins before the end of the boil.
Mainly because I am rushing or concentrating on getting the cooler sorted, FV rinsed etc.
Doesn't seem to make much difference tbh
Just give it a bit more time somewhere cool and it'll drop clear

 

[LeeH]

Thanks, I’ll crash it and see how we go.

 

[TonyT]

As others have said, we’ve all done it, give it time. Definitely doesn’t fall into the disaster category.

Did my first beer in months yesterday, flicking through the forum just now and saw this thread and realised I have just done the same thing. It’s ok, it’s a lager and who wants a clear lager?!
Reassuring to read the posts above though.

So what's the score if you put Whirlfloc in with the mash rather than the boil? Asking for a friend...

 

[Erik The Anglophile]

I find protafloc etc mostly helps to get the crud to sediment at the kettle bottom better after chilling.
It doesn't do anything in the finished beer that gravity and an extra week won't do.

 

[The Baron]

The odd time I have forgotten to put half a Protofloc tablet in my brew it is noticeable in the clearing stages of the beer taking a lot longer

 

[St00]

Use the "Rustic" prefix and it'll be grand.

I forget my finings more often than I remember them. It means more sediment makes it from the kettle to the fermenter, but as others say time heals most ills. I don't have the facility to cold crash at the mo but that's more effective for clearing than any kettle addition in my opinion.

I think I actually prefer my homebrew to come with a bit of haze, it puts the wife off and means I get more for myself.

I forgot the Kettle finings once. I wrote about it here:
https://www.thehomebrewforum.co.uk/threads/mark-k’s-brewdays.91047/page-10#post-1117031A dose of Gelatine and a cold crash sorted it. Look here:
