My Fresh Beer is cloudy - is this normal?Updated a month ago

The cloudiness of the Fresh Beer or Fresh Cider depends on which Style you've decided to make.

Like lots of craft beers, ours can be cloudy. This is due to the ingredients that give them their distinctive flavours!

Most importantly, our Fresh Beers and Fresh Ciders are unfiltered so there may be some residual yeasty sediment; filtering is one of the tricks big industrial brewers use to make their drinks clear more quickly, which we feel compromises the freshness

If you wish for your Fresh Beer to be crystal clear then we recommend Cold Crashing your brew. This is when you put your Pinter in the fridge vertically while still attached to the Brewing Dock for a minimum of 24 hours. 

The cold will cause all of the yeast and sediment to clump together and sink to the bottom, collecting in the Brewing Dock. You simply then take off the Brewing Dock and Condition as you usually would and the resulting beer should then pour perfectly clear.
