Title: Chill haze
Post by: banjobrew on October 14, 2015, 01:56:12 PM
First time encountering the ever so popular chill haze. Any fixes after bottling? I've noticed less haze in bottles sitting a week longer before going in the fridge... Will longer sort it out?

Time definetly helps but it may not fix it completly. I've started using clarity ferm recently which is great all my beers are crystal clear after using it along with cold crash and finnings, id recommend it

How are you chilling your wort?
What beer did you see it in and what was recipe?

Cold bath. I've never had problems with chill haze until I started high gravity brews. I'm also convinced pellet hops leave it cloudy as well.
