Hey all!
We had a bit of a rookie mistake happen where I milled part of a batch and then something came up where I couldn't brew for a week or two and then used the couple week old (and dried) grain that was sitting in our hopper for the next batch. Well, grain passed through our false bottom, transferred to the BK and then to the fermenter. I had to bypass our chiller as it was getting repeatedly stuck and chilled to pitch temp overnight in our glycol cooled tank. Not optimal, for sure. I racked out as much as I could but now I'm stuck with a very grain hazy beer in the fermenter. It still tastes pretty good though so I'm hoping for some suggestions on how to best reduce this grain haze to salvage the batch. My plan was to use Biofine Clear and I've always been under the impression it works best during the cold crash/in the brite. Does anyone have any experience with an issue like this?
Also, we do all of our beers unfiltered so we don't have any filtration options, in that regard.
It's an Oatmeal Stout that is still somehow fermenting pretty well, if anyone is curious.
I appreciate any input anyone has!
Thank you,
Rob
