Bright Beer?

[Martin the fish]

I've heard this phrase bantered about and i'm assuming it's 'clear beer'

My beers always seem nice and clear when in the bottles but compared to a recent test against bottled beers they fell short in the clarity dept.

How can i improve the clarity of my beer now i'm AG brewing?

Doesn't this look like a standard Q? I've tried searching but i got a million threads with no paricular order?

Thanks DaaB.
My first task is to check my Mash PH. I really cannot be bothered to hunt for my calibration fluids so i'll order some PH strips.

I boil so vigourously that i loose 14 litres from a 52 litre boil. With one element on it's a gentle simmer with two it's a fierce boil. My last brew was split into two to fit my 25ltr boiler and 25ltr HLT

I use irish moss-isn't that the same as a whirlfloc tablet's intended purpose?

DaaB says You can use finings but to be honest if you leave your beers long enough you shouldn't need them.

I feel that may be a large cause...

Does this mean that finings such as Isinglass merely speed up the process of clearing, rather than clearing the beer more effectively?

Thanks DaaB!

I'm going to need some fridges then.

I'm not that bothered about the haze.

More bothered about the taste.
