Murky beer

[robster62]

Hi all I am just racking this amber ale before bottling, but have had some minor problems with the clip falling into the beer. Should I cold crash before bottling or just let it settle in the bottles?

I always cold crash but someone else will say you don’t need to.

 

[robster62]

I've put it in brew fridge and will bottle Tuesday or Wednesday will I need to prime again?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Have you primed it yet?

 

[robster62]

I batch primed with the intention of bottling today but it all went tits up.

I leave beer in the secondary FV for a week in the worm before priming and bottling.
Unless you are in a big rush or the beer is super murky, this could be an option?

 

[robster62]

It was clearish until I had to put my hand in, then the fv slipped off the box I use to tilt it, and that was it, hops and yeast unsettled and murky beer. It's cold crashing now, I will see what it's like Tuesday or Wednesday.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Do as Slid says. If it’s cold you should be ok with your sugar not fermenting.

Inkbird is set at 4c

Cold crashing will achieve nothing that time alone won't

I once dropped a coat hanger in my brew - with no ill effects (except creases in my shirts)

The beer will be fine
