In The Home Brewer's Companion by Papazian, he advocates a method to reduce chill haze: "Add about 1 ounce of finely crushed black malt to your light beers at the end of the mash. The addition will not affect the color significantly, but will absorb some of the polyphenols, tannins, and long-chained proteins that cause chill haze. ... Youu may have already noticed that chill haze is less of a problem ... in dark beers. Aha."
Well I can attest to the last part - my Scottish and Ambers are very clear, but my pales, not so much. So I'm ready to try it.
Anyonee else have any experience with this?
