Open barrel to add finings and,,,,,,

Post by vipergreen » Sun Jun 15, 2008 9:09 am

As the beer wasn't clearing quickly enough I open the barrel to add some finings and i guess due to the pressure all the stuff from the bottom rushed to the top and the beer developed a creamy yet mucky head.

I added the finings (the 2 part stuff 30 minutes apart) done it up and gave a shot of gas.

Will it be ok ?

Also what are the best finings to use ?.

Sounds to me like you brewed your beer in your barrel, get a bucket and brew in that to reduce the stuff in your beer thus making clearing time quicker :D
