This latest batch is fermenting nicely and I have great expectations for it. The wort going into the fermenter was very clear. Let me ask this: If the wort going into the fermenter was clear but the beer ends up cloudy does that mean that the issue could only be from the fermentation point or onward? IOW, my mash temp and pH were fine, my crush was fine, my boil was fine and everything that happened prior to the wort going into fermenter was fine... is that reasonable? If so, other than contamination, what else would create cloudiness at that point? All of these beers went into the fermenter clear so I'll guess my assumption is incorrect and it could still be something off earlier in the process.
There is no correlation between clarity of wort and clarity of the finished beer.
