Short: sucked trub into keg. Beer cloudy with lots of yeast and trub in suspension. Do I re-fine it with gelatin or something else? Do I just need to be (sighs) patient?
Details:
I’m a 5 galling brewer, but recently did my first small batch. Of course all my equipment is 5 gallons sized. So when I dropped my autosiphon (full-size) into the 1 gal fermenter i ended up sucking up trub because is was not used to the length.
The beer was crystal clear prior to disturbing the yeast cake. Now I have quite a bit of yeast hanging in suspension and after 3 days in the keg it is still not dropping clear. I’m hesitant to burn a few pints because it’s only a 1 gallon batch.
Will the yeast drop back out even though the keg is carbed?
Beer: Smash
Viking Extra Pale Malt
Hallertau Mittlefreu
S-189 yeast 11g
Yeast nutrient
Hit all my numbers. 1.061 OG 1.012 FG
Fermented @ 12C for 7days - Free rise to 15C 24 hours. Left for 5 more days. Cold crashed for 3 Days. Then it all went sideways...
