"Hi Jr,

I'm not trying to be a smart-
$$, but IMO yeast selection, time and cold temperature (about in that order) does the best job. Beyond that I tried sparkolloid a few times. It worked. But even that requires time and cold temps accelerate things.

Your wash doesn't have to clear to run it. I don't even try to clear my rice washes. But I always rack my sugar washes and let them sit in the cold for at least three days or so.

Hey John, if you haven't already then please post your rice wash recipe in the recipe section.


As far as clearing - yep - just wait a little bit. I usually wait 2 weeks after fermenting stops & run it. It's plenty settled by then (sugar wash)

Ditto on both ratflingers posts, plz post the rice recipe and time/cool temp are really the 'cheapest' and best ways to settle and clear your wash. IMHO.."
