Thank you. That seems like some common sense sort of stuff. I will give it a try.

Are you suggesting that i should have cold crashed it versus stabalizing it with chemicals? If so I already did it and can't turn back now. Also, it is a six gallon batch, it may be tough to get it into a refrigerator. Is there anything I can use to get the particles of floating "stuff" to...
