I have always seemingly had an issue with creating hazy looking beers. Last year I made a blueberry wheat and the beer turned out crystal clear. But this year I just made a NE IPA and its not crystal clear, but its definitely not remotely hazy at all.
Here is the recipe I used, what can I tweak or add to get a little more haze to it?
11 lbs Hugh Baird Maris
1 lb 5 oz flaked Oat
5 oz Honey Malt
5 oz Carapils
Boil hops:
0.5 oz Columbus Hops (60 min)
170 degree Hop stand hops:
2 oz Citra
2 oz Mosaic
1 oz Simoe
Dry Hop:
1 oz Citra (3 days)
1 oz Mosaic (3 days)
1 oz Simcoe (3 days)
1 oz Citra (Keg Hopped)
1 oz Mosaic (Keg Hopped)
1 oz Simcoe (Keg Hopped)
Yeast:
Imperial Yeast - Juicy
According to what ive heard and seen, the Flaked oats and the Imperial yeast I used should have helped contribute to the hazy aspect.
Thoughts on what I can do to improve the hazy look? I love the beer, and perfectly fine with it the way it is, but curious why I seem to be unable to get Hazy beers.
