|
I have been using brown malt in my milds the last couple of times. I
really like it, but it seems to me that it takes about a week longer to
clear even with the same yeast, etc.
That's not a problem, I'm working on patience issues, (this year, I'm
not going to drink my cherry stout while it's still too tart- promise)
it's just that I haven't noticed before that different malts affect how
long it takes to clear. Is this typical?

Could be that the brown malt just has a higher than normal protein content,
which leads to haze, and takes longer to clear.
