Most odd!!!! Any ideas...?

Going back to late last year I bottled Brewferm's Diablo, a strong amber Belgium Beer with final percentage of around 6.5-7%.

After leaving a week in bottles for secondary fermentation, by which time it had cleared, I tried a small bottle, damn fine I thought. :)

I preceeded to move all the bottles to the tin shed outside taking care not to disturb sediment. I returned a day or so later to try another, all was well. :)

The next time I took a bottle, ALL of em' were cloudy. :x :evil:

Why the hell did this happen, I was most displeased.

Is this something to do with winter temperatures????

I has slightly affected other bottled brews to enter the tin shed around this period.

Any ideas???

Don't fret it's just a chill haze cos of the cold temps. Warm them back up before drinking and they'll be fine :thumb:

Like muddy says - you just have a chill haze. There is a good article at Brew Your Own that will explain the ins and outs. :thumb:

Chill haze eh...? Not heard of that term before, learn something every day!

I did bring em' back inside, and yes they do clear within a few hours and the taste improves dramatically.

I've noticed lagers don't seem to mind colder temperatures as the ales do.
