Fruit Beers and their 'Issues'

I've found that fruit beers can be glassy clear with the right amount of gypsum and Irish moss, but I had a blackberry ale I brewed two weeks ago that just won't clear. Tastes great and I'm sure I didn't set the pectins in the pasturization process, but it is hazy beyond belief. Fine red head though...

    I know it's hard, but let it sit longer. If you can, try a few weeks cold-conditioning. Stick in the fridge and the lower temperature will cause the proteins to come together and fall out. This is better to do before you bottle or in the keg if you keg your beer. You can also try isinglass - drop some in and let it settle for a week.
