These are from a batch a few months ago. I’ve been working on my filtering process to get pulp out. There’s a pretty big tradeoff that comes with clarity. The taste and texture suffer a lot.

After the pictured batch I did an experiment involving two simultaneous small batches. In one I pre-strained as much pulp out as I could and used a decent amount of pectic enzyme. In the other I did no clarification effort at all.

The first was OK. A little thin. A tiny bit off from oxygen exposure from handling it so much.

The second, thick one was undrinkable. The yeast cling’s to pulp and is very noticeable in the taste.

So my recent efforts are to try to land in a stable spot somewhere in between. Ferment on the lees, then strain and filter in one pass if possible. So far I’m not having luck properly getting the fruit fibre out.

    You might look into people attempting to clone the production beer called Mango Cart and see what theyre doing. Mango Cart is fantastic and tastes more like actual mango juice than it tastes like any kind of beer whatsoever. It has no pulp but it also isnt clear
