This is my first all grain batch, and I'm having an issue with the beer not clearing in the primary fermentor. It's an IPA with WLP001. It has been in primary for a little over 2 weeks, and today I just checked the SG and got 1.010 (OG 1.072) and transferred that to a glass to taste. The beer tastes great (very bitter like I wanted) but it's also very murky. I was going to transfer to secondary for dry hopping but when I saw how cloudy it was, I figured I would wait another week to see if precipitates out but is there anything else I can do in the mean time to help clear it out? I don't have a fermentation chamber to cold crash it, but I have the carboy in a swamp cooler and I can just try to add a ton of ice to try a semi cold crash. I used whirlfloc in the final 15 minutes of the boil but that didn't seem to help much.
