What yeast? Can you cold crash it?

 

[Weizer]

Honestly, I would cold crash it and bottle or keg(assuming that is in the ballpark of your FG). All the nasty stuff will drop out.

I generally leave my beers alone without touching them for 21 days at least.

Then I cold crash like duboman said - drop the temperature 20-30 degrees for 48 hours or so. Really makes siphoning a breeze

Safale us-05 dry yeast

I'm not sure can cold crash to much brew in my fridge as of right now

 

[mpfeil8484]

But cold crashing did work last time so ill move some brew out of the fridge

You can use gelatin also but I would wait another week and give it a chance to clear, 14 days is pretty quick to expect crystal clear beer

Ok thanks for the words!

By the way what's the longest period of time you can actually cold crash?

Just wonderin'

 

[trippin]

3 weeks primary/ 24 hr cold crash works for me with most beers and us 05 yeast.

I'm not sure that has been determined yet. A long time. One of the people I chat with left a beer in the primary for 8 months and he said it came out good so from that one could guess that colder beer would be good longer than that.

Irish Moss (except for stouts maybe?), 3 weeks minimum in the bucket, Gelatin, Cold Crash

awesome ive been learning a lot from this site....the biggest thing ive learned is that most likely nothing is wrong with your beer it just needs some good 'ol time.
