WLN4000 Clarity Ferm/Brewers Clarex

[Sir-Rooty]

Just ordering some fresh yeasts and was wondering whether I should try some of this? I don't generally chill my bottles down low enough to suffer badly from haze but I know some of my mates have commented on it when I've given them a few of my golden ales last summer.

What results has anyone had with it? How much are you pitching?

Cheers

I have used it often on certain styles to good effect. One vial is fine for a 20/23L batch. It also strips most of the gluten out of the finished beer.

The Malt Miller now does his own version, £15 and enough for 150 gallons.

I think its brilliant and use every batch. Not tried the malt miller version yet but have some for my next brew. Its much more cost effective tgan the whitelabs version.

I wasn't aware of this so thanks! Think I will be purchasing on my next order.

Re the gluten reduction thing - the guy who makes Savernake uses Clarex and had a recent 1000l batch fail the gluten-free assay test when very young, but it passed when retested a few days later. The enzyme needs a little time to get through the whole volume, though in homebrew size quantities I doubt you'd notice, and it will have done its job by the end of your conditioning period in any case.

Anyone who is bothered by gluten needs to keep in mind that it doesn't completely eliminate gluten and may still be a problem for them. Most tests of beer brewed with Clarity Ferm shows that it reduces gluten enough to qualify as "gluten free" in the eyes of the FDA, but there is still some there.

Thanks all - think my APA may be receiving a dose soon then!

Re: The Malt Miller equivalent - it's this right?
