hi grandad again,could anyone help, have brewed a batch of youngs scottish heavy for the 2nd time first brew was great but having a problem with this. everything was great until i bottled it. It doesnt seem to be clearing can anyone help?

hi grandad. Normally,the brew will clear once the yeast has performed the secondary
fermentation (adding fizz to the beer) and has been allowed to stand
undisturbed. Clearing usually takes around two weeks, but can vary
significantly, how long have you had it bottled? it might just need a bit more time to clear.

hi marko sorry just getting back to you now. its been bottled now for 3 weeks

Hi, Grandad. 3 weeks is still pretty early and probably just needs a bit more time like Marko says. Using brewing sugar can help speed up the clearing process.

thanks for your help everyone, just checked the brew again and as you rightly said its starting to clear now.
