I've recently lost the urge to spend any time whatsoever trying to clear my beer. I just don't care any more. Anyone else out there like me? :rockin:
And keep everyone looking forward to the next one.
Don't acre as long as it tastes good
And although WE know there is no difference between a beer with yeast in the bottle and one without, the visual difference might make it more impressionable and enjoyable.
I've noticed the same with ciders, apfelwein etc, as well. After 6 or 8 weeks in primary, one morning they are crystal clear to the point that a person could read a newspaper through them.

In most cases clarity is the byproduct of good process, not the end in itself.
Actually, in most cases clarity is the result of technology. Commercial breweries typically filter their beer. We now have small systems for the homebrewer so we can do this as well if we choose. Other things such as gelatin and whirlfloc are not normal beer making ingredients and are formulated by technology (often using natural ingredients). I'm not disagreeing with you that process indeed has an affect on clarity, of course it does, and just as you said cold crashing and careful racking make a big difference. Just pointing out that producing crystal clear beer is often done using relatively modern items or techniques.

Yeah, but then they will want all my precious, precious elixir of life so I will have to make even more of it. That sounds like since I spending more time and effort insuring clear beer I have to spend more time and effort to make more beer to spend more time and effort on it to make it clear. Where will the cycle end!
