| Alright//test gravity and still the same 1.018 BUT it does not taste as sweet..dont know how that works..it tastes just friggen awsome..if you like just a slight malt taste...seems the hops just mellowed in and are in the back...I am torn to put a 1/4 oz of fuggles in the keg or just let it be...this is a keeper...Jeff | |

Well, that's up to you. If you feel the sedimentation is already nice and compact, you can just cold crash that and get the remaining particulate settled out. If you really want, you can transfer that to yet another carboy to separate it from the existing sedimentation for further clarifying. Of course, that would take a bit longer overall. If you're in a hurry to keg, I'd just cold crash what you've got in the carboy it's in. | |

Now for my Octoberfest Lager..its been in the secondary for 8 weeks..i am going to test gravity tonite..last test was 1.018 ...should these be cold crashed before putting in keg? or just put it in and then cool it?? thanks Jeff I've found that it works best to cold crash for a couple days before kegging. If you want, you could transfer first into a carboy, then cold crash that, then keg it for maximum clarity. But you will do just fine keeping it in a bottling bucket for the cold crash. | |
