My first post here - been brewing for about 6 years, but still consider myself a beginner - soooo much to learn. Anyway, this is the 4th time I have made this recipe and it usually comes out nice and bright, but this time , arghh, not so good. Tastes great - even better if I close my eyes. All grain as follows for 5.5 gallon batch:
10 lbs Maris Otter
13 oz Flaked Barley
13oz Caramel malt
4 oz chocolate malt
2oz east Kent Goldings
1 package Wyeast labs #1084, Irish Ale yeast.
It was cloudy during fermentation, and cloudy during 48hr cold crash. After kegging and carbonating, I waited about 4 days, then added gelatin to the keg and waited another 3 days - no change whatsoever. Got a big brew party coming up in 6 days and planning to toss it, as it is so un-appetizing to look at
Anyone have any ideas on how to salvage this, other than to pour in into opaque cups? What kills me is this is the best tasking one I have ever made, since I used closed transfers and eliminated my dreaded oxidation problems.
Thanks,
Paul
