Chill haze! First time in many years.

[sibelman]

My Duvel-ish clone has a chill haze. Did I wrongly skip doing a protein rest?

Base: Dingeman's Belgian Pilsner. 4 oz. Belgian aromatic, 2oz. Weyermann Cara Helles. Mashed at 151°F.

What am I missing?

How long has it been packaged? What temperature is the beer and how long has it been that temperature? What's the coldest temperature it has experienced?
Often chill haze will go away with enough time at near freezing temperature. If you want to serve it at 4 degrees, chill it to 1 or 2 degrees for a week.

Time will sort it, if you don't mind a little haze just drink and be merry. It should clear up in a week if kept cool.

Sometimes I get slight chill haze aswell, even after using protafloc.
Letting my kegs condition at serving temp(10-12c) for about 2 weeks instead of 1was a change improving both clarity and flavour in my experience.

It's been in bottles at room temp for about 3 months. I've only opened bottles that were chilled for a day or two. I'll try longer. Thanks for the advice.
