I have 3 clear beer systems and after spunding to the keg, I am able to pour beer that is clearer than beer that has been lagering for at least 3-4 wks already in the very first pour.

For me, they just allow me to drink a beer when it is super fresh instead of having to wait 3 wks for it to pour somewhat clear after the spund.

Then at one point with about 3/4 gallon remaining the clear beer somehow got stuck (I think the dry hopper got in the way) and stopped serving beer. I had to open the keg and knock it free.

Clear beer system now has a screen.  I was able to throw three ounces in the keg without clogging or getting hop bits in my beer

I heard that dry hopping directly in the keg did not work quite as advertised with the screen filter, but I have not tried it directly myself yet.

Hmmmmm....3 oz of pellets, leaf, or cones?  No clogging, or particles in the beer at all?

That's hopeful then.  I should probably just pull the trigger on one and find out for myself how it'll work in my process/system.

My experience was that it took two weeks for the beers to be completely bright with and without the clear beer system. Before that the beers were somewhat cloudy.

I can't really say how much better the clear beer was than the dip tube before week two since I didn't do a side by side comparison.
