Hey all. I recently made an ESB. It went thru the general 1-2-3 process, and it tastes really good, but it is really really cloudy. what could be the cause of this. I would prefer it was crystal clear. will this settle out in time?
 
How long have you chilled them in the fridge? Put a few in there for 2 weeks at least and that can often make a lot of yeast and chill haze fall out of solution.
 
Give it time. I had Irish red ale that was very cloudy when I bottled. The first 2 weeks after it finished carbonating the beer was as cloudy as most Hefes. Now that I have given it a few more weeks they are crystal clear.

Also another good method for the future is to use fining agents such as gelatin a couple days before bottling and that will help it clear up a bit before you bottle.
