Why my beer is cloudy after finished fermenting

If your beer is cloudy and won’t drop clear in after fermentation process in unitanks;
Most beers brewing in brewery equipment, given enough time will drop clear in the fermentation tank or fermenter but factors that affect the time it takes are numerous.
The most common report from brewery of haze is 'chill haze'. This is where the beer is clear before it goes in the fridge or goes into brite tank or bright beer tank– and you probably don’t want warm beer, or hazy beer, so what can you do about this and other hazes?

Ensure you have a long vigorous rolling boil
Use kettle finings like protofloc, irish moss or deltafloc
Cool your wort and cool it quick within 20mins by brewery equipment, such as using a heat exchanger!
Double check starch conversion is complete during the mash
Make sure you pitch enough healthy yeast to have a strong fermentation in fermenter.
If you’re still having an unwanted haze, you could consider finings after fermentation. There are plenty to choose from like gelatin, isinglass or polyclar.

More advanced brewers in brewery may want to check their water composition. Having a good level of calcium in your water is essential to having a hot and cold break during your boil process in kettle tun, which in turn are essential to avoiding a haze. Aim for around 100ppm if possible but anything of 50ppm should do the job.
 
Of course, you might want to brew hazy beers like New England IPAs or Weissbiers by your own beer equipment or in a brewery, but you should get that haze from your recipe, rather than cutting corners on your beer brewing process.
