Hey all - n00b here. I'm a few batches in and have been happy with the flavors, but the clarity is driving me crazy. I know it's almost purely aesthetic, but when I pour a beer for someone who is new to homebrew I'm tired of explaining that the cloudiness is OK.
So, what methods have the most impact on clarity? Whirlpooling, adjuncts, cold crashing, double fermenters, primary only ferments, etc?? I don't want to add complexity to the brew process, but I will be happy to do something that has some serious impact on clarity.
Right now I use only the primary for fermentation (thanks revvy), and I bottle condition for two weeks then another week in the fridge. I do not cold crash, I do not whirlpool and I don't add adjuncts or moss.
Thanks in advance!
