I did. I might get gassy in a little while here but you're far enough away not to have to worry about it.You drank the glass of sludge?
Good news number 3 is that the beer seems to be pretty clear. I'm just sneaking glasses of it with a cobra tap at this point but it will probably hit the taps soon because I have a helles and a cream ale on two of the taps which I consider to be mildly redundant style-wise. I'll get a better feel for the clarity soon but early signs point to WHOO.

Yeah, don't spoil our fresh air man!
Is it OK to ingest biofine? I'm not trying to scare you, I really don't know. I have avoided any of the cloudy pints/samples with it thus far.

I suppose it's a fair question but I'm thinking that if it's something that you can actually pour into your beer, it can't be that bad for you. That would suggest that no biofine was remaining in the rest of the keg so I'm just going to guess that nothing bad could ha....dm0939-';00ecwjdckldklqjd'qwjdpoj1,.Yeah, don't spoil our fresh air man!

According to the research I did it's fine.

Seriously... not even the slightest bit gurgly last night. I did do some research and found some conversations where people were asking if they should transfer the beer from one keg to another after using biofine and all of the responses were "NO". Honestly, I didn't even consider it. I figured that if you could add it directly to the beer, how bad could it be? The next test will be coming up later this week when I send this first-ever 30m boil beer (a pilsner with the Bayern yeast) to a keg. I'm interested to see how this clarifier works on a pale beer. Also, has anyone concluded if this WilliamsWarn clarifier is the same product as Biofine Clear? Chils, do you know?

I had conversations with Colin Kaminski ( he was on the BN several times) about biofine as he was the first to mention it back a few years ago and he indicated there was no issues with leaving it in the keg. There was no need to transfer off it.
So Biofine is:
Biofine® clear is a purified colloidal solution of silicic acid, (SiO2), in water that has been specifically formulated for the rapid sedimentation of yeast and other haze forming particles in beer. It is Vegan friendly.
from this bottle it seems the ingredients are the same or similiar.

Ah, good stuff Drez. As a part of my homework last night I also ran into the Exbeeriment where they compared gel solution to biofine clear. In the pic with the final beers, both beers look pretty good but to me the biofine beer looks a little clearer and I think the beer they went with was a helles, IIRC. So all good news on the biofine front as far as I can tell. I'll be paying close attention to upcoming beers fined with this clarifier. Cheers.
I can show you many beers I have used biofine in that are crystal clear. Some that were hoppy and some that were lagers. It works.

What about hoppy lagers?I can show you many beers I have used biofine in that are crystal clear. Some that were hoppy and some that were lagers. It works.
On this topic, I did happen to have a rather sizable purge this morning. This stuff cleared me right out!Today Ken poops out sludge followed by a crystal clear turd.

On a side note: I notice that the MJ site says to use one pack of yeast "in up to 23 liters" by sprinkling it over the top. Does anyone want to comment on that? 2 packs in 5 gallons? Directly sprinkle or rehydrate? If anyone thought that the beer wouldn't suffer I would use one pack and rehydrate it so that I can save the other pack. I assume that it's just the first batch that would be in question and after that there would be plenty of yeast.

Did you just pour it into the amber or pour in and mix? You cannot just add this close it up and good, it needs to be agitated. At least Biofine Clear, what I use, has to be agitated.

I did not agitate it. When I add a gel solution I just carefully pour it into the keg, seal it and carb. I would rather not agitate the beer in the keg but I suppose a small shake or something would be okay. So here I have a "pour" into cold beer with no agitation and I have a "blended" because I added the clarifier first but that beer was not cold. Hmm. I'll have to see what happens. How do you agitate? Shake? Stir?Did you just pour it into the amber or pour in and mix? You cannot just add this close it up and good, it needs to be agitated. At least Biofine Clear, what I use, has to be agitated.
