Hi,
Made my 3rd batch with DME a while ago and the beer stays hazy even after a month of standing still in the bottle. My first two batches with LME got clear after only a few days in the bottle. I only have small pot and had to do partioal boils in all three batches, adding half of the extract 5 minutes before the end of boil.
Also, in my 3rd batch I dry hopped with pellets as opposed to whole hops in the first two lme batches.
What could cause the haze?
The one thing that comes to mind is that that the DME needs a full boil to have a hot break, unlike the LME. The other - could the pellets at dry hops be causing the haze?
--------------------
Recipe (10 liter batch):
1,2kg Muntons Light DME
5g Columbus 60 min
5g Centennial 30 min
5g Citra 5 min
1,2kg Muntons Light DME at knock out
Safale 04
5g of each Columbus/Citra/Centennial in secondary for 4 or 5 days.
Primed with 45g of beet sugar.
--------------------
Thanks in advance.
