What's best way to have clear beer??

[Art2019]

Any ideas to have good clean looking beer after it's ready? I kegged a delirium & can't find out why its cloudy. I transferred after everything was settled.

prepare a gelatin solution and pitch into the keg. Wait 1 to 2 days and you will have some great looking beer! This link to brulosophy explains how to do it. It works great. http://brulosophy.com/2015/01/05/the-gelatin-effect-exbeeriment-results/

Well chilled and in appropriate glassware.

You might want to ask a moderator to move this to one of the homebrewing forums. Larger audience and all like that.

Done!
I just moved it to the "Beginners Beer Brewing" forum.

Was it clear before you transferred? How did you transfer, did you perhaps suck up yeast/trub?
It will settle out again, faster when the keg is kept cold. After a week, you blow out the first couple pints with trub/yeast and it should be a lot clearer from there on.

Cold crash and time are the must. Will try Gelatin next time.

Whirfloc, cold crash and gelatin.

You can still add gelatin now, even after it is carbed.

Has anyone ever used bentonite for clearing ?

Doesn't that need to be filtered out?

I'm not sure . We just got some for mead . I think you add it in the fermenter then siphon off leaving the bottom sludge . I've never used it .

 

[odie]

I thought that stuff was used for drilling mud? Like for oil wells?

 

[RPh_Guy]

No, bentonite does not need filtering.
I use it in wines.
Yes, bentonite does have other applications, as does gelatin.

@Art2019
I don't know what's "best" for you, but putting only clear wort into the fermenter is one way to get clear beer.
