Hi, have just done an all grain recipe - everything seemed to go to plan after fermentation. I transferred the brew to another fermenting bucket, added hops and gelatine as per instructions.

After 7 days transferred to a pressure keg with the required quantity of soft brown sugar, fitted lid and left for 7 days. On sampling, the beer is very sweet and hazy in appearance. All equipment has been sterilised as instructions, so it seems like the secondary fermentation in the keg hasn't taken place.

Also there isvery little pressure in the keg. Thanks in anticipation for any help

Hi Tricey

If you took SG readings before kegging, that would be useful information in determining whether the fermentation was really completed?

Assuming the fermentation was completed, then it sounds to me as if you have ended up kegging a bit early and the beer is still a bit hazy. No worries, another week or so in the warm before transferring the keg to a cool place for a fortnight should sort it out.

Thanks for that I will do that and see how it goes
