Sediment in beer

nutgoneflake68

Hi I've brewed a woodfordes wherry which turned out well however i've got about a gallon left and its now coming through cloudy with sediment and is therefore un-drinkable, would it be possible to filter this out or will it settle out or will I have to through it away?

There are usually two reasons for it going cloudy, either if it is disturbed and mixes the settled sediment back into the cleared brew, or if it is very cold and has developed a 'chill haze'. If the sediment has been mixed back into the brew it will usually settle again and the brew will clear, this is a problem after transporting a home brew beer somewhere and it needs to be left to settle again. In the case of a chill haze, this will sometimes clear when the brew is warmed up again, but it does not affect the taste, just the appearance, and is nothing to worry about
