My first batch was a lager I followed all the rules for lagering and after bottling it let them condition for 2 and a 1/2 weeks .
They looked pretty clear through the bottle but after putting them in refrigerator when pouring them they were very cloudy even looking through the bottle looked a lot different.
Does anyone know why this is happening.
 
Chill haze. Usually from proteins in the beer. Lager it for a month as cold as possible and it should drop clear.
 
You have to chill them for weeks as well when lagering. I find most of the time a good week will clear them( in most of my ales).Sometimes I like to chill a few days and not care of haze but other times,I let them sit to clear more knowing it will make a clearer beer.
