Fining a grain brew??

chassyp · Aug 3, 2011

I`m a grain brewer at heart. My question is....I am just fermenting a Bass brew. I am looking at trying to get as little sediment as poss in the bottles. Does anyone have any experience of fining all grain? Im not sure what to do as Im a
bit worried that it may ruin the brew and knacker the second fermentation. : cheers:

I use gelatin in the secondary after chilling down to about 2 or 3C in the fridge. I let that sit for a good week at those temps and then bottle or keg as usual. It has worked well for me.

When all fermentation has ceased, the yeast will start to drop out of suspension.
Bottle and prime when you can see blurred shapes through it.

I can always see blurred shapes through my beer. It normally happens after the 6th or 7th pint...

Considering that a lot of commercial craft breweries fine why should it ruin the beer? :wha: :wha:

Even star bright beer contains around 100,000 cells per ml which is more than sufficient to carbonate a batch of beer . . . . . Given enough time

Thanks for those replies. I feel a bit of fining coming on then!! Would it be best to rack it off, then fine and rack into primed bottles do we think?? : cheers:
