The First Batch

[whjohnston]

So after brewing another batch of beer (technically my first in bottles), my beer still came out milky. I fermented everything the right way (after much research) and transfered the beer between the primary fermenter and carboy and back again, and then preceded to bottle. I let the bottles sit for about 2-3 weeks in a dry room. Everything I feel like was perfect, except the clearity, any suggestions?

I'm fairly new to home brewing myself I'm fermenting my 6th batch now but from everything i have read about haze in beer it is very normal to have a hazy beer. unless you have a filtering system to get it nice and clear. Somethings that have helped me is using some Irish Moss in last 15 mins of the boil, it helps collect the negatively charged proteins from getting into your fermenter and keeping them in your trub. Im also trying a product called Biofine a clearing agent that you add to your second fermenter.

well that sounds perfect, how would I find it and about how much would it cost me?....keep in mind that I'm a college student so my budget is pretty limited.

It doesn't seem to costly, and there have been a number of people praising it on here.
