Quick question, I made a cream ale and it's hazy. I added Flaked corn to my mash. Never having used flaked corn before, and never having issues with beers that didn't fully clear (ie crystal clear). I'm thinking the corn is the culprit. So does corn release any pectin that may have set?
Recipe:
6 lbs DME Pilsen malt.
0.25 lbs melanoiden malt.
0.25 lbs carapils
0.25 lbs flaked yellow corn
0.5 oz Magnum @ 10AA
1 pkt (11 gram) Dans tar Nottingham
procedure:
Bring 8 gallons water to 152F and steep grains for 20 minutes.
Slowly raise temp to 172F and mash out (let bag drain)
Bring to boil, after hot break add hops, boil 60min.
10 minutes remainung add whirfloc tab.
Cool and pitch.
It was done primary after 5 days. I used Super Clear to let it clear out, but it is still hazy.
Thanks in advance!
