Pursya Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Hi all, So the beerdroid says brewing has finished and I've put it into storage mode awaiting the kegging caddy. looking into the window the brew was not clear at all. So I've tapped a bit off and it's hugely cloudy. I've never brewed before so I'm not sure if this is good. Tastes ok, smells ok. Any comments welcome.

DadJokes Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 It looks quite normal to me. Yeast in suspension at bottling/kegging will usually settle out during secondary fermentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pursya Posted January 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Thanks. Cant wait for the keg buddy to come and get the secondary going. and then to taste sweet, sweet beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Keech Posted January 26, 2017 Report Share Posted January 26, 2017 Certainly nothing to worry about at all, I haven't had one come out nice and clear out as yet, completely normal and by the picture again completely normal. You'll be amazed the difference leaving it to condition for a number of weeks, wouldn't think its the same thing that came out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeks Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Yeah that's fine just after primary fermentation. Once it is been primed and stored in the keg or bottles during secondary fermentation it will clear up and will look much better. You can also keg without the caddy, there is a BrewArt 101 video which shows you how to do this. My first 4 brews I kegged without the caddy and I have only just bought one since I wasn't sure if it would be worth it. From what I have heard tho, kegging with the caddy is much better.

Gibbo Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Good job Craig. At this stage looks dont really matter much. Smell and taste are so much more important and it seems you have ticked those boxes. What brew is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Palmer Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Hi Craig, I've found that some of the ingredients get stuck in the passage to the tap and after a couple of 20ml decants it looks much clearer ( although a sludge remains which I find once I'm cleaning the brewdroid post bottling.) I hadn't dared taste the first few decants but seems from yours and other comment I was unduly worrying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
