Will carbonation prevent a beer from clearing?

[Hwk-I-St8]

For example, if you lager a beer uncarbonated vs the same amount of time and temp but carbed, will that make a difference in it clearing?

No idea, but interesting. What's the situation you're pondering?

 

[Hwk-I-St8]

I've got a blonde ale that I gave 2.5 weeks fermenting and about 5 days cold crash with gelatin added on the second day of the crash. I kegged it and started carbing but it's not as clear as it I'd hoped (sending to national comp). Wondering if it will clear more and if carbing will slow or stop it. This is literally the first beer I've brewed that is supposed to be clear.

I add gelatin and start carbing at the same time usually. Never have a problem getting clear beer. I have a Helles that has been sitting carbed for about 2.5 weeks now and just starting to clear. Should be good to go by the time I package for NHC. If the haze is caused by something gelatin can take care of, then you should be good to go with some more time.

Even if you don't use finings, carbed beer clears in the serving keg all the time. Ever notice how the least few pints always look the best?

I don't really know if still beer will clear faster than carbed though.
