  What I have been doing, and according to everything I've read it shouldn't work (but seems
  too), is adding between 4oz and 8oz of flaked oats to my steeping grains. Just mixing them in
  with the rest o...

  You probably have hard water, then. At least I think that's what does it. If you mix it with
  distilled or RO water it will stay clear for weeks/months.Yep. I had to turn off our water
  softener a week ...
