Hey all, I've been having clarity issues on my last three brews, like supper cloudy. I figured a few possibilties, but not sure. Any other ideas would be helpful. Here's what I'm thinking:
1. It could be that the calcium levels are down because of all the rain in my area. I do add salt back in to bring the calcium well above 50ppm. Also one batch was RO water with salts.
2. I switched to a homemade hop spider that uses paint strainer bags. I clean and rinse before use.
3. Something after the boil is causing the heavy haze. (my post-boil sample is crystal clear after a short time )
I'm not necessarily wanting to use findings to solve this problem. Any help would be great?
