Any recommendations on removing chill haze besides the Irish moss deal. Fast boils vs slow boils, rapid cool downs, all grain vs extract. etc..., How do the breweries get such clear beer??!!!!!

ajf said:Of course the other way to prevent chill haze is not to chill the beer before serving. This works very well for English style ales.
More importantly, crash cool the beer right after the boil before fermentation even begins - that will cause a cold break to form (clumps of protein that contribute to chill haze). Once the proteins coagulate, they easily drop out of solution and wind up in the trub.wop31 said:Crash cooling before kegging to works great, like edwort said. It helps to get the protiens and tanins out that cause chill haze.
