Junk in my American Brown

Sat Jan 28, 2012 2:50 pm

So I hit my American Brown with gelatin in the keg a long time ago and was unable to keep it in the same place cold; I had to move it 2X. Now its in the fridge and pouring. It's delicious. I just am getting bits of junk in every pour. Think It'll settle in a a couple more weeks? It's been on tap for 2-3 weeks now and has not moved. I am serving it for a party in 2-weeks and thinking if its still got junk in it, I'll just run it through my HopRocket from the keg.

We told you not to teabag the fermenter, Tim! :nutters:

I think the hop rocket sounds like a good idea.

The "junk" ( :nutters: ) is little bits of hop matter I think. After I pour a glass it settles quickly. It's like little flakes or maybe precipitate.

Were you able to cold crash before kegging? That can help to minimize any debris going into the serving keg.

HopRocket ready to load to help keep my American Brown junk-free. I have Cascades and Chinook on-hand.

Going to load up 3 oz of Cascade and see how it works....maybe switch to Chinook later this week for grins.
