I could see cutting it out, but with an amber colored beer like this I think some sweetness is warranted. Maybe go with your plan to mash lower and see if that helps with drying it out before you pull out the crystal completely.Jim Lemirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14000051293978203511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-66678937304815589852012-07-12T10:12:50.547-04:002012-07-12T10:12:50.547-04:00Simcoe is there more for background hop character....Simcoe is there more for background hop character.

Nothing I an think of specifically for dry hop haze, but try to get the beer as clear as possible pre-dry hopping. A number or brewers suggest reducing the amount of yeast by fining or filtering before adding hops to increase extraction, might help with clarity as well. Good luck!The Mad Fermentationist (Mike)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07379932734747507258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066877917844499643.post-72429272124511397042012-07-11T22:01:22.922-04:002012-07-11T22:01:22.922-04:00That is one delicious looking pint.
