Has anyone had success using Biofine Clear A3 after carbonation in a BBT?
I have a Blonde Ale in my BBT right now that just will not clear up and I really need it crystal clear! It's a Blonde Ale for sakes.
My standard procedure, which has produced brilliant clear beer with all my previous batches on this new system, is as follows - For 15bbl prepare a 50L keg shell with 1000ml Biofine, fill shell with cold beer from FV on day of transfer, roll around to insure good mixing, slowly add this Biofine/Beer mix back inline during transfer to BBT at a "tee" in front of BBT at very slow rate to insure full mix into BBT. Carbonate overnight, clear beer in 1 day, brilliant on day 2.
The Blonde Ale in question in about 60% Pilsner malt/20% Vienna, 10% Carapils, 10% Acid and others. No Wheat and nothing out of the ordinary on brewday, fermented in 96 hrs with Safale 05. It was crashed to 33F for 7 days in FV before transfer.
Now, please shoot holes in my idea - Try another batch of Biofine shot through the sprayball. Bear in mind the beer is fully carbonated and the BBT is at 15psi.
So, I'll put 1000ml of Biofine in a keg, fill with beer from the BBT (maybe decarbonate the keg) and connect the keg to the spray ball CIP tube and shoot it into the tank with like 40psi of CO2. This would in theory spread the Biofine over the entire surface area and let it settle all the way to the bottom and hopefully clear it up. Seems like a crazy idea to me but it just may work without beating up my carbonated beer.
What do ya'll think? Feel free to tear this idea apart, haha, I can take it!
