I am getting ready to brew my first wheat beer. I've been researching but still cannot find a good answer as to what causes the cloudiness in wheat beers...yeast, proteins?? How is this controlled by the brewer? Just the other night I drank a Gumballhead (clear) and an 80 acre (cloudy), both being American pale wheat ales. Are some wheat ales simply clarified using fining agents where they would otherwise be cloudy or is this more about the malt bill/yeast selection. Thanks for the help.
