Brewed up my first all grain batch back in January. It was a Moose Drool (brown ale) clone. Primary for 3 weeks, secondary for 2 weeks, and in bottles for 3 weeks now. The taste is incredible!!! Incredibly fresh and just plain good. However, it looks like chocolate milk...it's extremely cloudy, hazy, etc. Taste is more important than appearance for me, but what would cause this?
I did a 75 minute boil, but I had to do it on my stovetop and I never really got a good rolling boil. It boiled, but it was a slow boil. Probably never got a good hotbreak? Likewise, cooling the hot wort was a slow process as well. (I need a turkey fryer and an immersion chiller.). Are these the likely causes of my cloudy beer?
Thanks all.
