[Rattlesnake44]

i like the looks of the recipe. i'd like to give it a shot with wlp007 and finish up 1.010ish range and see how that comes off.

Yeah, I'm gonna brew it again soon. I want to use the Dry English yeast and see if it is much different. 001 finished this beer at 1.008.

American Strong Ale, which is kind of a loose term.

you think the avangard pale ale malt would be good for the base?

Honestly, I'm not sure. I can't find my original notes I made when I listened to the podcast to get the recipe. And my palate isn't the most discerning, I've had my nose broken and reset quite a few times.

I've only used their pils, but I'm sure it'd be good. The special B and Chinook take center stage.

It's hard to get a red beer that is crystal clear, but you can get close



That's my red Lager, that's about as clear as I can get it with bioFine and 48 hours.

This is a perfectly acceptable IPA. In fact, I like it best when it looks like this. I think that it has more hop flavor and aroma when hazy than when clear.



I think clear beer is great, but also overrated at least on the homebrew level. If I drank your kolsch, and it tasted great but had a slight haze. I would not ding you for it. OTOH when you pour a beer and hand it to your friend and it looks like THIS.....

One of the most important steps in getting clear beer is nailing your ph and getting a good hot break. Also, though perhaps less important, chilling fast enough to get a good cold break. If your pH is off you may never see really clear beer unless you age it for a very long time.

I do not filter but I do use kettle finings (whirlflock or irish moss) and tank finings. I really like BioFine clear. It works really fast and leaves the beer very bright in about 48 hours. If you find your "sweet spot" it doesn't strip too much aroma out of your beers, though that said, I never fine dry hopped beers.

In my case I run a brewery and I can attest that usually I fine with about 500 mil per 30 bbls in the primary fermentor after a week of cold crashing and in about 48 hours I can rack clear beer to the BBT. Occasionally I may have to find again in the BBT but usually it is not necessary. The key is to be sure it is mixed with the beer needed fined thoroughly.

Just curious how you mix 500ml of biofine in your fermenter. What I do is have biofine in my BBT and then I transfer from the fermenter to the BBT. I also use whirlfloc in my kettle also get good hot break, it looks like cottage cheese floating in the boil kettle.
