Right on...I was thinking you needed a brite tank. So you can use the gelatin in your serving tank?

I need to go relisten to the archives...

Thanks man.

You don't need a brite tank, if you don't move the keg around. Every time you do you will kick up a little schwag. I just leave them alone until they are done (which isn't that long... :cry: )

Cool Mylo. Thanks. I thought about gealtin on this one since 1388 is not much for floc'ing out. Right now I am still looking for keg space since I swear my Pale Ale will not empty...lack of determination on my part I suppose. I think I am going to buy another keg tomorrow and keg at least keg the beer and get is settling in the keg sooner rather than later. I want it ready to try by a week from Friday, so still plenty o' time.

Thanks again...next brew in Feb so I gotta get drinkin'...or start bottling (nah)

I agree. Mine has been going for six weeks now and hasn't settled out. I even dropped the temp to lagering temps for 10 days to try to get the yeast to drop out. It is improving, but verrrrrrry slowly.

Well, the pale finally kicked and I kegged. Beer is cloudy, but I don't care...it carries a nice pear note in the aroma, has a champagne-like taste/body and is really good.

Next time I'll filter or use gelatin to clear it...not competition-worthy, but damn tasty.
