Yes i know i have to wait a couple of weeks yet, but is it safe to drink my brew in a cloudy state, what will it give me? nothing more than a bad belly/gut ache/the trots :sick:
Or is there a more sinister side to drinking beer thats not really ready yet?
 
Since I started brewing AG beers and seeing the problems with haze and stuff in many of my brews I laugh at the responses I see sometimes in bars where a hazy pint has been served. Now, I'm not knocking people for insisting on a clear pint from a pub, that's how it's supposed to be and that's what we pay for. What does make me laugh is when someone is drinking a 'hazy' pint and they're told or say themselves that they're going to have the sh!t$ tomorrow because of that particular pint.

A crystal clear pint is the ultimate goal but one that's hazy presents no more risk of the trots than one that is crystal clear. It's down to the 9 previous pints, 4 shots and 3 vodka + Red Bulls! Another urban legend that people use to dismiss the real reason for them feeling ill.
 
I agree with PAVRA.

ive been drinking my first AG brew now for two weeks, its still cloudy. i put it down to using the wrong size bag when i mashed my grain. it tastes good and ive not had the sh#ts through drinking it.
