sorry if this is posted somewhere else on the board i haven't had time to really look around. anyways....
i am relatively new to home brewing but i have brewed my fair share in the few months i have been doing this (its actually above Alabama's, my location, "legal" limit for home brewing per month). but from what i have learned i have made leaps and bounds in my education but i am still having trouble with cloudy beers.
i am trying to get the same clarity you find in a good lager/ipa where its nice and clean with a crisp after taste. to achive this a rack into a secondary fermenter (every week actually), use irish moss to clarify and have a converted mini fridge as a laggering chamber. yet i am still unable to get a clear beer....Why?
this is just one of my problems but the rest i can explain (i think) and fix (hopefully). so if anyone has any insight that might be able to help me i would much appreciate it.
this is a list of beers i have done so far,
*oatmeal stout
*american wheat
*magic hat #9 clone
*dos equis clone (yes i have seen all of your hate on this style, walk on. there is nothing better than a cold dos equis/corona with a lime in it when your at the beach)
*standard dry hopp IPA
*german hefe
