My first Lemmy post!

I’m very keen to see this community grow. I’m traditionally a reader not a poster but that is not what we need now!

I’m brewing a west coast ipa this weekend. Dank, resiny goodness, and about 6.5%.

I make good ipa, but it’s always hazy - due to the high rate of dry hopping (not other reasons - I can brew crystal beers of other styles).

For this one I’m going to try an extended cold crash at 2 deg C, followed by biofine at the upper end of the recommended dosage. 2 dry hop additions of 7g/l each, on day 1 and day 6. Hop pellets are added through a hop dropper, loose. Whirfloc in the boil too, but don’t think it’ll help with hop haze.

Any other ideas? We’ve tried a few different fining agents with limited success.

    Try different yeast strains. This is easiest way to clarify beer. I usually don’t mind hazy beers but when I tried to make it more clear it was matter of changing yeasts.

      Good call - I’m using up different strains in this one, m44 and us05 so fingers crossed. Us05 is my go to
