I'm having a hard time getting rid of the chill haze in my brew. I have tried Irish Moss several times and I just can't get it clear. WTF?
Do you bother if i borrow your topic a little?
Does the chill haze impart any off-flavors, or it's just a problem to the appearance?
Sorry.
and Thanks.
Pedipano: Like BigK said, chill haze is has no effect on flavor or aroma. It is just some extra proteins that have come out of solution and will, given the chance, settle out to the bottom. If anything, chill haze indicates that your beer could be less stable over time because of the protein content, but that's about it.

Whirlfloc and gelatin are two additions that seem pretty popular. I crash cooled my first brew, IPA, and I'm pretty happy with the clarity.
Sorry for being a "NEWB" but WTF is "crash cooling"? Also, when is the best time to add Whirlfloc and gelatin?
