    hi all,

    Just reaching the bottling stage of my first home brew; the Brooklyn brewshop Punk IPA recipe; however we're a bit unsure if it's worth continuing as we're concerned about how it looks!

    Any advice would be great in regards to the photo below.

    It's hazy, but otherwise seems normal. What type of yeast was used, and did you use any clarifying agents during the boil?

    Please describe your procedure, it looks fine , just a bit hazy nothing to worried about except too much proteins could affect its shelf life

    Well, it doesn't say the type of yeast, but the lack of clarifying agents, e.x. irish moss, is the most likely cause of the haze (suspended proteins).

    What temp did you pitch?

    That's the problem; from memory it was around 50 Celsius due to confusion with reading Fahrenheit!

    It is a very high temperature for pitching, almost near the highest limit they can resist before dying !!!!!!! .
    Did you let the beer ferment at this temperature?

    We cooled it whilst it initially fermented, and it bubbled, producing green bubbles on the surface, for around the first week of fermentation.

    What do you think the average temperature during the first week was?


    You are not online at the moment, so I would like to advise you to read : www.howtobrew.com

    before making any new move with this beer.

    Good luck
