How cold is too cold?

[wyobow]

I always seem to have a problem with chill haze, I have crash cooled before and still get chill haze. Would it help to cool the wort below 65 F. ? Would the colder temps kill the yeast ? I use an IC and get below 70 F. in less than 7 min. ( in the winter, tap water in Wy. is cold ) . All brews are ales. I also use wirlock . Any help would be great. Thanks!

If crash cooling isn't helping, do a search for using gelatin to clear your beers. You can use the stuff from the grocery store, and people who've used it swear by it.

How long are you chilling them before drinking....a week or two in the fridge tend to be the cure for chill haze.

About a week. Just finished a corny of blonde ale , chilled for 2 weeks prior to tapping , took 3 plus weeks to drink ( I do share with friends ) , chill haze to the last glass.

I always had a chill haze problem when I did extract. I don't know why, but it pretty much went away when I started brewing AG. Strange.

I use whirlfloc in every beer. They are always brilliantly clear. (except wheat beers)
