clarifing brew

how to help ?

Broad question so expect many answers!

Whirfloc in the boil added at the last 10 minutes will help. Cold crashing finished fermenting beer at 33-34° for 24-48 hours before packaging will also help.

Not fun way: Time. Leaving it alone in the packaging for 4-6 weeks will also help tremendously!

Good luck!

ph can also affect your clarity along with any salts you used.

I use Super F finings once the beer has finished fermenting and is cold along with @Sammy86 suggestions.
For lagers and beers I serve cold and want clear such as lager I add clarity ferm which is meant to help with chill haze and also chops up residual gluten to make the beer gluten reduced.

Some yeasts clear better than others, I find kveik drops well and Philly sour.
Belgian golden strong ale yeast does not drop well.

That sounds arbitrary, like it came from instructions.... My own rule of thumb: If the instructions say 21 days, give it 28-42. We don't all have the same brewing setup or local climate that the person who wrote those instructions have, and even so; They know damn well their beer will be better than the mainstream commercial stuff and keep the customers buying, even if it can be 'better' by waiting longer. I'll admit here that patience with fermenting is really hard for me, but the reward to my palate is unequaled.

Unflavored Gelatin.
Here's a link that does a great job of explaining the process:
