Chill Haze

[johnnyh]

Thoughts chaps...

Just over a week ago I moved some bottles and mini kegs to the garage, and kept a couple of bottles and kegs in the house - my control sample

Anyhow, the indoor sample bottles are crystal clear, whilst the garage bottles (and thus I assume keg), are very cloudy/hazy.

I put one indoors to warm and it cleared nicely, thankfully.

So is it simply too cold to leave them in the garage? Or will it not harm anything, and warming then chilling in the fridge to clear prior to drinking is ok as a way forward?

chill haze has no effect on the taste and well being of your beer , store them cold is best though

 

[johnnyh]

is it acceptable to let them warm to clear and then chill slightly for serving?

or am I just being a bit of a ponce and should just drink 'em cloudy :lol:

you can stop chill haze by buying poly clar its added to fv before bottling/kegging
