So below are 2 photos which might be capable of illustrating the problem to the carefully trained eye.
I brewed my first Barleywine over a month ago now and after 3.5 weeks in the frementors I threw it through my filtration system (~5 micron) and into my keg.
Kegging was too alluring to pass on (even without a dedicated fridge) so my fridge has a nice top shelf that can hold a (2) 5 gallon keg lying on their side. Unfortunately this leads to lifting and moving the kegs out of the fridge whenever I want a beer. When the kegs are full, this is a big pain in the butt, lots of sloshing and .
What happens is that when I grab the keg and pour a glass of barley wine, the first glass is clean, malty, and perfect. Then after an unknown amount of time (usually around 30 min to an hour or so), something apparently settles out of the beer and then next pour is super cloudy. I can taste whatever the cloudiness is, and it is pretty off-putting.
Is it yeast? I'm having trouble assuming that. It's gone through a 5 micron filter, there shouldn't be too much yeast left in there right? I've served/drank a gallon of it by now and I'm still getting these cloudy awful tasting glasses.
Is there such thing as a reverse chill haze?
What can I do about it?
