Hi,
As the title already says, my problem is that our cask ale does not drop bright (or at least the odd firkin that gets returned). This is usually the case with heavily dryhopped beers. Our bitter, mild etc come out crystal clear.
This is our process:
- let beer ferment out, add finings adjunct and dryhop
- cold crash to 0C
- after 4 days the beer gets packaged
- add priming sugar into firkin(40g) and isinglass 250ml ( 1:3 dilution isinglass concentrate to water)
- secondary fermentation for about a week
Could it be possible that through the dry hops a protein polephenol haze emerges which cannot get cleared by the finnings?
I would appreciate any input. Our casking process improved a lot but is obviously still not perfect.
