That's chill haze. If you do a search you'll find lots of info here.

Its called chill haze. Its an epidemic problem among homebrewers and it must be stopped.

You can fight it by using something like whirlfloc or Irish moss, using gelatin, cold crashing, or leaving your beer in the fridge for a weeks before drinking.

Or you can enjoy your beer blindfolded. Happy brewing! !

I use a counterflow chiller. It's a huge pain to make sure that no debris gets from the kettle into the chiller. But it works really fast to get the boiling wort down to pitching temps. And the primary reason to get it down fast is to get a good cold break, which prevents chill haze (probably among other things).
