I just read that chilling the wort to below 50 F will take care of cold break, which should prevent chill haze. Has anyone tried the extended chill (50 F) and have any luck?

Maybe I should try gelatin.

Thanks for the diagnosis. Chill haze is my problem, but how to correct? I read that not cooling the wort fast enough can cause this. I get my to 70 degrees within 15 min. I don't think this is the problem. I understand that starches (barley formed maltose) need to be fully metabolized by...

I guess I don't know. I chill my bottled beers before drinking. However when bottling I believe the beer was clearer.

How do I get more clarity from my extract-steeped beers? I have been really happy with the taste of most of my recipes but I would like them to present a little clearer. I use Irish Moss and follow the 1-2-3 rule. I am wondering if letting them sit in the fridge for a week before consuming...

I don't have enough cascade (about 1 oz) however I have an oz of columbus. How about using it?

I am in the middle of brewing and I need help with my hop selection. Any advice would be great. Basic Ale Steeping Grains: ¾ lb Caravienne ¼ lb Dextrin (head retainer) 3 lb Amber DME 4 lb Light DME .75 oz Cascade @ 60’ .5 oz Willamette @ 45’ .5 oz Cascade @ 5’ Thanks

I will be dry hopping cascade during the secondary. I cool the wort fairly quick by putting the pot in the sink with cold H20 and ice. I also add chilled 3 gallon of purified drinking water to my primary. My temp drops pretty quick and I pitch within 15'. I already have good bubbling in my...

Here is what I brewed yesterday. It had a fairly light color to it...lighter than I would like. This was the first time I used Irish Moss and it seemed to really make a difference with clearity. I usually strain my wort when going to primary and I think this also helps with clearity. I did...

I have one oz each of the columbus and cascade.

I have some leftover hops and steeping grains that I would like to use tomorrow. Here's what I have: oz. of cascade and columbus hops. 1/2 oz of hallertau (sp) and willimette hops. 1/4 # of Munich dark and a 1/4 # of biscuit malt. I would like to make a red ale that has some nice...

and new to the homebrew. Goin good so far. Got my third batch in the secondary...nice, bitter IPA. According to this site I can't go wrong with Cascade and lucky for me that's what I used to dry hop. Anyway this is a freakin awsome site and full of great info. :mug:
