What would YOU use as a clarifying agent? I brewed outside and went to turn on my hose to run my copper chiller and, DOH!, it was frozen. So, to go from 200-ish to 70-ish was a rather quick 7 hours...

Now it's cloudy. Maybe not all due to the poor chill, but cloudy none the less.

Cheers!!
 
I use whirlfloc in the boil and that paired with a good chill makes for a good, clear beer. Only once have I ended up with a beer cloudier than I expected, but I didn't really care.

If the beer was in the keg and I wanted to clear it up, I'd use gelatin.
 
Gelatin will clear your beer in the carboy. Expect it to take 2 or 3 days to settle. Make sure to read the directions so you get it to clear beer, not make jello.
