Conditioning question

[bobsbrew]

First time brewing, and I'm using the lager from a youngs brew buddy kit. Had it inside at 22c in a barrel and bottles for a week secondary fermentation until bottles started to clear. Then moved it to the garage (a week ago) now my bottles are cloudy again! Is this normal should I do something or just wait?

What is chill haze and what problems do you get with it

 

[bobsbrew]

Is there anything I can do now? Will it affect the taste etc?

A chill haze is simple condensation.

No it isn't.

Drink it from a frosted glass and forget about it.

Chill haze is something to do with I think proteins in the beer it's perfectly harmless and will clear once the brew loses its chill

Chill haze is proteins produced when the temperature of the wort in the mash is lower or higher forget which. I don't think it's usually associated with kits. However, how long did you condition it for? (Leaving it in the cool after it's fermented). Having said all this I would just leave it another 2 weeks in the cool and see what it's like then. In most circumstances, it gets better with age.
