Cloudy Beer

[Wfu1bunn]

Why is my IPA perfectly clear when it goes in the keg, but cloudy after a few days of carbonation?

Chill haze. Assuming you use whirlflock in the boil. Should clear somewhat after a while in the cold, but you can use finings like gelatin before you transfer to keg for gem like clarity.

Thanks! Can the haze cause any off flavors?

Try Clarity Firm. A 10ml vial for five gallon batch only costs a few dollars at LHMS, goes into the fermenter just before the yeast. I've used it on my last three batches, works pretty well.

It's flavorless. It does tend to shorten the shelf life, but that generally isn't a concern with IPA.
