I have an IPA and a cream ale on tap that just aren't sexy. The IPA was first and I thought maybe it was from hops but now the cream ale has the same haze. Both Have been in the keg for weeks with no real improvement in clarity. Warming the beer up doesn't change it. I do all the basic stuff Irish moss, crash before transfer. The beers tastegood and in the past I would have left it at that it I'd like to get to the root cause. Both are low srm beers with no specialty malts:
Cream ale 50% 2row-40% Vienna-10% flaked maize
IPA 75% 2 row-15% rye malt-10% flaked rye.
Both brewed with 1272
I'm thinking maybe it's a ph issue but I can't find much info. Does too low ph have a significant impact on clarity? With both beers I shot for ph of 5.2 in bru'n water but I use colorphast ph strips to check so I'm unsure of actuall. Although on my past few batch I've noted coming in low(based on color I was used to seeing relative to bru'n water) I'll be getting a ph meter soon just want to see if I'm barking up the right tree here.
