I get chill haze that clears after a couple of weeks in the cold garage when it's cold.
I thought I'd photograph it over the course of a 2 week period in the fridge.
The beer was fermented and conditioned at 20C until it was cleared, then put in the fridge at ~9 degrees for 2 weeks, photographing every day.
You can see the chill haze form on the first day (it was clear when it went in), and then gradually clear.
It clears faster if it's colder. It's still not as clear on day 13 as it was on day 0, but another week and it probably will be.

Edit: Oh... the forum shrunk the photo so it's not as easy to see. I'll see if I can redo a zoomed version, or if anyone knows how to upload higher res images, let me know

It's worth noting that the beer at the 2 week mark isn't quite as clear as on day 0.
But by about week 3 it was (no photos though as I drank it)
