    Hi
    I’m making a hazy ipa , I do close transfers and have a Mac daddy filter that is tied into my line, I was wondering if this will remove all the hazy out of the beer?

    A bounce filter? No, the screen in that shouldn't affect haze, unless your "haze" is caused by large hop particles.

    Do you like the Mac Daddy?
    I used one from the kettle to the fermentor. First with the white filter (80 mesh), which plugged up almost immediately and caused the silicone tubing that feeds it to start swelling. Then, during the same transfer, I changed out to the red filter (20 mesh), which also plugged up pronto.
    Not sure what I should have done differently.

    Do you know how to effectively purge your lines of o2? Adding a filter inline is just adding potential O2 introduction which will have a much greater negative affect on your beer than some hop particulate making it into the keg

    Yes, but you shouldn't.
