  • Good Lord, dude!  You put me to sleep!

  • Why filter out all those wonderful things? Turbid worts should be returned to the tun to be filtered by the grist until it runs bright. Same goes for the first runnings from the copper which should be returned to be filtered by the hop bed. Protein Haze is often a product of poor quality malt and some is thrown through excessive chilling. Not a good situation anyway as ice cold beer = no taste.

    Chill haze isn't necessarily caused by of poor quality malt but improper mashing of certain malts i.e. low modified pilsner . Some malts need a protein rest at 120-130F.

  • No filter?  No problem.

    Just drink it!

  • @3ltomo Respond to this video...Most Home Brewers clarify our Brew without a Filter. METHODS: Whirlfloc or Irish Moss the last 10 mins of the boil. Before transfer to fermenter, stir in 1-direction to create a Whirlpool then let heavy bits settle to bottom of the pot. Cool, & STRAIN wort to carboy. When fermentation is done, yeast, husks & proteins mostly drop. Siphon to sanitized glass carboy (w/ airlock) for 2ndary fermentation. Allow for time! If needed, cool, add Polyclar before bottling.

  • Noo don't ever filter a homebrew!
