clarifying your beer?

[eaglesnestbrewing]

Back to clarifying ...

I just use irish moss in the kettle, and my beer is pretty clear. Not crystal clear of course, but certainly not cloudy. The main exception was the APA with 30% rye malt; that fella was thick and murky.

I did this extract brew west coast pale ale and it turned out alright but like i said VERY cloudy

Is that from bottle or keg? Looks to be a ton of particulate in there, not just haze... Just wondering if it's related.

Biofine clear is vegan right?

Its from a bottle. that was from a bottle i opened last week (bottled about a week and a half before i opened) i only did a one stage fermentation on that one for about 2.5 weeks (my first batch)

Did you pour the whole thing out? Or is there that much particulate even with the yeast cake at the bottom of the bottle? Also when you transferred from primary to your bottling bucket, did you avoid the yeast cake or did some of that go with it?

I always found extract-based beers took forever to clear. We are brewing much clearer beer now that we've moved to All Grain and are boiling in a huge pot outside... so I think our clarifying process goes something like this:

1) A good hard boil to get a good hot break
2) Irish moss
3) Chill quickly
4) Time!

The glass you poured up there was still pretty young. But really, I don't mind a hazy beer so it's not something I obsess over.

With that particular beer i did pour the whole thing, i tried to limit the amount of trub that went with the beer into the bottling bucket. Moat of the time i leave the bottom half inch or so of liquid at the bottom if im serving to someone else but it still after almost 3 weeks in bottles is close to what that looks like in the picture.

Has it been in the fridge for those 3 weeks, or has it been at room temp?
