Who racks to a secondary before kegging???

Well, I've tried a lot of options so far, and they all make delicious beer, so I cannot decide what is best haha. I do agree though, this is what makes brewing such a great hobby, there are so many ways to do things, but it's pretty forgiving.

Good point. I've recently started usng US-05 for my pale ales and noticing it doesn't drop anywhere near as clear as the 04.
Might swicth back :wha:

That's odd as I've had some superbly clear results using US-05 after adding a sheet of leaf gelatine for fining:

I think the US-05 is more difficult to clear too, I always give everything a week in secondary, then crash cool for three or four days after, and have then found that the US-05 has dropped, although I have never used any type of finings. Even when bottled its a bugger, because the slightest knock and it clouds the bottle up, doesnt travel to parties very well unless dropped of beforehand (so better to keep at home and drink yourself). :grin:

Oh I just meant when racking out of the FV, the 04 has never needed any kind of crash cooling to clear but the 05 does need that extra step.
I BIAB and always have but both produce a nice clear glass of beer by drinking time.
