I've heard 6-row has higher diastatic power (useful for converting adjuncts
or malts with little to no diastatic power) and is a more "authentic"
choice for certain American styles.

Here's a short article:
https://www.midwestsupplies.com/differences-2row-6row

I have been having trouble with clarity, too. My most recent 2 batches, I
tried fining with gelatin: 1/2 tsp in 1/4 cup 150 F water. I was not
impressed with my first attempt, but I think the beer was not cold enough
yet. My second attempt, I cold crashed the beer longer before adding the
gelatin. When I transferred to the keg, it was still cloudy. I'm continuing
to chill and carbonate. Hopefully it will clear. On Brulosophy, he didn't
check the clarity until it had been in the keg for about 24 hours and it
had been cold crashed for a couple of days before that. We'll see. I may
need to increase the amount of gelatin I use? I'm hoping I pull a cloudy
pint or two this weekend, then enjoy clearer beer.

Different fining agents act on different components of the beer to improve
clarity. If I recall correctly, Whirlfloc / Irish moss are plant-based and
attract proteins (opposite charge) and pull them out of suspension (some
say this can hurt head formation and retention). Gelatin is animal-based
and attracts yeast out of suspension (again, opposite charge). Then there's
polyclar, which I don't like the sound of because of the microplastics
issue.

I just made my first batch of all grain and it was very nice (added some
coriander and orange peel in the wort). I used 11 lbs. 2 row grain. I see
where Brian wants 6 row. What’s the difference in these grains? And, does
anyone have a preference for either or another row?



Also, my beer has not cleared up (after 4-5 weeks). Someone suggested I
use Irish Moss to help with this. Any thoughts on that matter?



Thanks in advance for the knowledge.

Does anyone have a pound of 6 row malt I could buy?

Hello Overmountain Brewers,

Please note that we have been asked to change the name of our club's event
to ensure folks don't get confused between this event and a local brewery
festival event.

Our Fall road trip Down in Asheville will this year be called:



Operation Fermentation - Asheville.

Thank you,

Donna

Hello Overmountain Brewers,

We had a small discussion and the finalized date will be on November 3,
2018 for our Operation Fermentation in Asheville event.



This event will celebrate the craft of brewing and good beer in Asheville.
If you can encourage folks to brew that day and want to do that, cool.  If
not invite them for a road trip.

Make it for the day or the whole weekend - your choice.  The plan is to
enjoy as much beer as possible while trying not to 'Fall Down'.



Below is our general plan which is a selection of times and places that we
want to check out.

If anyone wants to break off and visit something different, cool!  We hope
to catch up with you later. This email shows where we will be and includes
a rough idea of when to be there.

Location hyperlinks are listed below. Check them out and get a game plan
ready because as they say - Time flies when you are having fun!
