Hello
I brew 2 times same recipe,
1st was 2,5kg pale 2 row + 300 gram carapils
2nd was 2,75 kg pale 2 row + 150 gram carapils
Both same yeast, both used 1 tsp Irish mosh
So difference was a little different use of grains and fermentation temperatures
Why 2nd is very haze than first?
Both served at 7-8 Celsius, i have photo only from 1st now the other one probably tomorrow

that looks pretty amazing.

what is the difference in time between these? time can clean up alot of things. also does the haze go away as it warms up?

Haze remains at 8 Celsius both, buy doesn't go away later on the glass.
I cold crash for 2 or 3 days then i keg carbonating 4 days now, haze is same from day 1.
1st batch was clear already few days after high krausen..
Something i forgot to mention , i use different company grains, first was from here Greece production, 2nd was "Bestmalz"
Also first was a new package of yeast 2nd was same yeast reused.
 
too many variables to know for sure. ussualy haze is from protein in the beer, but it can be from suspended stuff, like yeast, in the beer too.

if it tastes good, drink it ;)
 
Different batches can give different results. Consistency in beer is difficult and takes care.
 
Proteins, vorlouff, grind, fermenter transfers, tried yeast and as you said, different suppliers. Try your bright brew's supplier again and see if you get your same results or maybe Bestmalz snuck some 6 row into the bag?

You mean that 6 row grains making hazier beers?
