Hi All...
For the past 4 batches or so my pale ale has been coming out hazy. The first hazy batch was the result of a stuck mash and ever since then I have not had a bright pale. I am using a plate and frame filter, that would be the same plate and frame that I use on my other beers with out any haze problems. I had a few other hazy batchs of an Irish Red and Amber ale, but I slowed the rate at which I pushed it through the filter (lowered the pressure on the feed tank) and all was,and still is, well. There is a good amount of hops in the beer, which I know can contribute to haze, but I brew other beers with comparable hopping rates with out a problem. I am running out of ideas and at this point I am willing to try anything to remedy the problem...any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Pete
