I'm doing a Japanese lager using the brülosophy quick lager method. The recipe off the top of my head is:
1kg sushi rice (cooked)
4kg pilsner malt
100g carapils
30g sorachi ace
34/70 x 2 packs
I fermented at 12c for 6 days (half my sg), bumped up to 20c for 7 days then cold crashed for 4 days at 0c after which time it was still pretty much the same in terms of cloudiness. I added a small teaspoon (literally a spoon for tea not the measuring spoon) of geletin (I haven't got a microwave so I add it to hot water in a pan on the hob - it's worked in the past) but 3 days later and it's pretty much the same.
Should I just leave it at 0c and just wait for it to drop clear now? I've missed the deadline I was aiming for anyway so there's no rush now.
One thing to note is that it has a 1 inch layer of white trub at the bottom. I think this could be rice solids, as it's much lighter than usual. Can rice cause cloudiness? The iodine test showed no starch in my wort so I'm sure the it was all converted.
