On 10/17 I purchased a 1/4bbl keg of Bonyard RPM IPA, which is typically pretty clear. I have had 7 of these kegs in the past and never had an issue with Clarity. I have to transport the keg on its side in my car, which has never been an issue in the past. After putting the keg in my kegerater, I only let it site about 45min before tapping it. Typically I wait about 24 hours. Since I tapped the keg, all of the pints (have had about 10 so far) have been cloudy, like a cloudy IPA, and had a slightly off taste (Sediment like). I am thinking the transport kicked up any sediment that was in the bottom of the keg, typically there is only a little at the end. I think tapping it too soon didn't allow the sediment settle. After 4 days, the cloudyness hasn't cleared up.
Any advice on how I can get the sediment to settle, and clear up the beer? I am currently serving the beer at about 42*F and at 11psi. I have heard that bringing the temp down close to 32*F for 24 hours could help, but I don't know if I should leave it tapped or not when doing that, or if it even matters. I am also afraid of getting it too cold, and/or ruining the keg. It is still drinkable and pretty good, but not how it is supposed to be.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
