Using a beer clearing product
« Reply #15 on: December 28, 2022, 08:39:02 am »
I have this guy’s (Trong) Picnic Tap 2.0’s.

Trong’s floating dip tube (FLOTit 2.0) gets good reviews from some friends.  I have the clear beer draft system. It does leave half pint or so of beer behind.

Haze can have flavor so removing haze can affect flavor. The effect is not necessarily bad. In particular, yeast can form a haze and yeast has flavor.

Thanks to all who replied.  I have a floating dip tube in my keg and it seems to take care of most of it.  I might try the Whirflock next time and see what happens, but the last few batches I have made have been well received by both me and my brother.  I have a few more recipes I am going to try so we shall see.   Once again, thanks to all who replied.  I appreciate all the input.

I think I might go back to Irish Moss.
It takes about 2-3 months before a batch is in drinking rotation.
The current batch has less sediment in bottom of bottle than any before.
I accurately measure cane sugar for each bottle, but this batch has
less carbonation, not bad just less. 

Is it possible that Irish Moss also drops out suspended yeast ?
It's the only thing I can think of.

Cheers
