  • Clarity depends on a ridiculous number of factors. Adding a bunch of non isomerised alpha acids is definitely going to affect that since isomerised alpha acids cross link with minerals (mostly calcium and magnesium) and proteins, precipitating them out eventually, as well as being important in the creation of foam. In addition, unless you used hop oil for your hop bursting, you added a whole bunch of polyphenols which flip polarity depending on the temperature. Some of these are important in the creation of chill haze, but they’re also important in precipitating out the protein that causes it during the boil. Since you didn’t add bittering hops, that didn’t happen and you’ve likely got a whole bunch of haze causing proteins in there.

    On the plus side, it’s just beer. If you enjoy it, drink it. Clarity only really matters if you’re trying to compete in a specific style category and even then, it’s only worth a couple points at best.





  • I told my friends that “obviously women are more beautiful than men”. I didn’t realise until then that I had based that opinion entirely on seeing nothing but statues of women and women in ads

    I didn’t figure out until that moment that they were all made by men to tell women what they should look like, and not because everyone agreed that women were more beautiful.

    I hadn’t considered that most women were actually attracted to men and you didn’t just pick the least ugly one to marry because you had to.
