Cloudy Wherry

[araldite]

hi simon
i dont think you've done anything wrong mate its just how it works sometime i think

ive just finnished my bottled wherry and it never really cleared but the brew before in the barrel after around 6 weeks could have been sold in a pub it really looked good.

ive just put some nelsons revenge (also a woodforde brew) in the cellar, 8 days in the bottle in the warm and its just about clear

maybe next time leave in the warm a while longer im sure someone who actually knows what hes on about will be along soon with the real answer for both of us mate.

I wish I knew why this happens. Half the time Wherry clears during the week in the warm and the other half it's still cloudy after 8 weeks.

My Nelson's Revenge is cloudy as hell and it's been in the cold for 6 weeks. So annoying.

Hi folks,

Just had a peek at a bottled Wherry - eight days in the warm - still a bit hazy. I'm currently drinking a Brupaks Colne Valley Bitter which has been ten weeks in the bottle, its cloudy (more hazy really) but tastes good . Could it be a protien haze, rather than yeast, from a glitch in kit manufacture?? Tastes fine enough............

You won't see protein hazes until you chill beers down lower than cellaring temps. I've had it clear in the course of drinking a pint that was in the fridge as it warms up nearer room temps.

If you do another one, try using SAFALE S04 yeast, it stays more compact, and less likely to swirl up when you serve.
