Hi all-
The last few batches I've been seeing a pretty severe chill haze in my beers- differing styles but all similar process. In the past my beers have been very clear. I always use whirlfloc as a kettle fining and often (but not always) fine my beer with gelatin in the keg before transferring to a second serving keg (so I can transport it or take it out of the keezer as needed without stirring up sediment).
The only thing that's changed lately is I've moved my whirlfloc to later in the boil, closer to 5m than 10 or 15. I can't say if that correlates with the chill haze or not, as I've been brewing a ton lately. My ingredients are pretty standard and my process is nothing unusual- a BIAB mash with a single batch sparge. My water is extremely hard, but like I said that shouldn't be part of it as I haven't had this issue in the past.
Ever had this problem? What are some causes/solutions to your chill haze problems? Thanks in advance!
