Hazy IPA clearing!

[ChilledGecko]

Out of interest, how is the head?

From what I remember it was OK.
As you asked nicely I'll pour one later (for research) and post a picture.

Freshly poured glass of the offending item.
The head is very 'off' flat with a slight scum vibe going on.

As you can see, clarity to be proud of!

Yes the head is deffo lacking, try the old syringe trick to see if the head will reappear

The clearing problem is likely due to the enzymes in pineapple - bromelain - which quite rapidly digests the proteins which contribute to the haze. It’s one of the problems with working with fresh or frozen pineapple in cooking. The protease enzyme is destroyed by heating - doesn’t need to boil, just over 60 deg C will do it if you wanted to try again.

A good read here. I now await the readyness of my soon to be bottled test batch mango ipa with challenger and cascade.
Bottling tomorrow.
