Hey all,
First post here!!. Not sure how as I have been around for the last 10 years. I have an interesting question for everyone.
I have always used Safale 05 as a very good yeast with good clarity, however it is of recent that I have had some very poor quality brews coming through. I use a grainfather, 90min mash, 90 min boil, with about 1 tspn brewtan in the mash for extra clarity. This all seems very good until the transfer stage into the fermenter. Not sure if the 90 min boil is causing some non enzymic browning and hence causing a darker wort. I did have perfectly clear brews a while ago using the old esky and keg method, however the granfather is a much superior method of brewing by far.
Grain is from both new and old stock and makes no difference. Fermentation temp has been a little bit higher than I would like, at around 18oC. I generally try to ferment at about 14oC.
Anyone got any ideas of how to improve the clarity??
Cheers Fellas,
MBF.
