I recently brewed up a batchof Janets and am finding it somewhat murky in appearance. Taste is great, nothing unusual about the brew day or fermentation. Its been in the keg cold condtioning for a month. I typically dont have issues with my beers falling clear. What have others experienced with this beer?

Mine's always cloudy. It's too damn tasty to wait long enough for anything to drop out.

Have you tried cold crashing your fermenter prior to packaging? This makes a huge difference in racking in clearer beer into the keg or bottling bucket.

My last one was really cloudy. I forgot to add whirlfllc, though.
Past batches have been a bit cloudy, but not totally murky.
Not sure why.
It a friggin awesome beer, regardless. Its turned into a must have for me. I think Im going to brew up another batch of it, as soon as I keg the one thats is fermenting.

You mean I have to wait a whole extra day before I can drink it? I'll take mine cloudy. :D

A haze is allowable and expected in highly hopped beers. A heavily dry hopped beer like this is probably going to have a significant haze from the hop polyphenols. You can drop some of that by fining with PPPV, but that might take a little hop flavor and aroma with it. If it bothers you, but you love the beer, drink it in a stein. Then you won't see it.

I believe that Tasty has said that the JBA (or maybe just the imperial version) hits a sweet spot with a couple months of age on it... I feel like this was talked about recently, but only very briefly...

IIRC, It was mentioned that week 8 or 9 is where it is at its peak.
