I understand that taste is far more important than looks, but still I would like to try and make my next batch more clear if possible. I've only made 2 batches so far, and about to start my 3rd this weekend. Both batches I have made have been pretty cloudy. I've made a Brewers Best IPA kit and a BB Summer Ale kit.
I let them sit in the primary bucket for 3 weeks, and bottle condition for 3 weeks. The last one I also made sure to strain everything when dumping from kettle to the primary. My first batch has been in the bottle for over 2 months and still not clearing up.
I'd rather not spend $50 on a carboy to use for a secondary. Is there anything else I can try? I heard that addng something like Irish Moss can help. Can I add something like this to an ingredients kit? And if so, when would I add it? I'm planning on brewing a pumpkin ale or some sort of winter ale this weekend and could use any tips.
