i brewed a lager two weeks ago and split it into two fermeners. one got dry cellar science german yeast. it worked perfect
the other was a repitch of a pint of cellar science baja slurry (3rd generation) . it wont clear in the fermenter. i tried cold crashing . i tried warming it up then cold crashing. when i pour off a sample and leave it a t room temp it clears and there is a thick layer of yeast on the bottom after a few hours. it doesn't taste off just very yeasty until it settles. then it tastes like flat beer.
what would you do. gelatin in the fermenter. tranfer to keg anyway. or maybe try a brightening tank type of vessel prior to kegging?
i am now a little weary of repitching.
thanks
