Cloudy Wherry safe to drink?

Post by Hoppkins » Tue Feb 13, 2007 11:31 am

The wherry i made (which had a bit of a sluggish fermentation...i had to repitch) is still cloudy after 4 weeks in secondary. I have added finings to little avail.

It tastes ok but is it safe to drink this really? I've heard stories about people getting real unhealthy from drinking cloudy beer..

Yes

Stop listening to them then :roll:
If it tastes good it is good :D
You will only become ill if the cloudiness is from a bacterial infection and if your beer had a bacterial infection it wouldn't taste good :( and as you have already tasted the cloudy beer and not fallen ill :?:
It is more than likely still yeast in suspension.
Draw off half a pint and put it in the fridge. If it is starting to clear from the top in an hour it is yeast in suspension.
So you could either wait and it will settle, or just drink it :wink:

That just made me laugh outloud in the office.
Cracking stuff.

Especially the spatula.
