Super Hoppy Irish Red Ale.
« on: February 24, 2013, 01:08:43 pm »


This is a super hoppy Irish Red Ale that I just bottled. It's unbelievably clear. It's the clearest beer I've ever bottled.

My question is is there enough yeast in such a clear beer for carbonation? Should I have pitched more yeast prior to bottling?

My FG was right around 1010 - 1012 and fermented for about 3 weeks.

Should be fine, Irish ale yeast is a master flocculator, but after 3 weeks, you should still have a lot of yeast in suspension.
