I have a batch of hoppy APA that just won't clear. I have even tried cold crashing with no luck. My normal process is primary for a week or so, secondary for two weeks, keg, condition at 60F for a couple weeks, force carb, and drink when desired carbonation is reached. Generally I have a pretty clear beer by then.
But not this time. THere are no off flavors that I can taste, and frankly it's a pretty tasty batch. I am not all that worried about it, but I can't figure out what is making it so cloudy??? It's really cloudy, much cloudier than say a heffe or a Wit.
Recipe is pale malt, a bit of crystal, a bit of carapils, and a heavy addition of hops especially late in the boil. Yeast is London Ale. I can post the exact recipe if that helps.
Any thoughts?
