Hello all, I have finally produced a couple beer recipes i want to brew on a regular basis but need some critiques on my AFTER fermentation process. OK i was originally fermenting 5.5 gallons in a 7.9 gallon plastic fermenter. After fermentation i let it sit in the fermenter about a week at room (65/ 70 degree temp)temp then transfer via autosiphon to a 5 gal plastic carboy and cold crash in my fridge a week. Then transfer to a corny keg and carbonate. But i have noticed i still have a fine sediment in the bottom of the corny and i have had some brews develop a off flavor,its almost like a flatness or yeastiness even tho the beer is well carbed. I ended up thinking this may be oxidation so i altered my process. I bought a beer filter system and eliminated the week setting in the carboy and cold crash in the carboy. So last weekend i went from fermentation bucket to a corny keg, then forced beer thru the filter into another corny keg which i then set in fridge and carbed. I noticed today one week later beer is still hazy and a little yeasty then i remembered when i pulled the filter out after filtering i noticed it wasn't really full of sediment like i thought it would be.So is the filter for filtering in general or just for (polishing) the beer. Giving the equipment i have what would you folks recommend.I have corny kegs and carboys and the filter now plus access to a refrigerator .Thanks folk i feel like if i can get a good system going here i will be more satisfied with my results.
