Hello all,
Having had good results with many beer kits over the last few years (mostly Festival) I decided to buy a replica
kit off a home brew shop in the West Mids. I just needed to invest in a large stainless steel 2 handled pot.
The kit includes some Harris Starbrite beer finings, the instructions are - stir in the finings a day before barreling and move to a cool place, (cold crashing I assume).
My question is if the beer looks fairly clear near the top whilst still in the bucket and bearing in mind I will
be using a top tap barrel do I still need to use the finings? I mean there is a lot of gunk at the bottom of the bucket and I thought stiring all that back in might not be a good idea.
Or do I just stir the finings in the top few inches of beer and hope gravity does the rest?
Paul.
