Personally I would not be worried about the end product being clear. Not all that long ago I had a very murky looking ESB from a small pub. It was their own recipe that had been modifiied by the head brewer at Bridge Road brewing at Beechworth. They do special batches for quite a few pubs...

I always use rain water as there is no town water where I live and the bore water is undrinkable and I've never had a problem. I have added a few things over the years but nowadays I normally don't bother. I only brew extract, no all grain.

Ive got some 12 month old GB from my father in law, its Brigalow and all he used to do was put in extra powdered ginger and normal sugar. It tastes great. Ive made coopers and Brigalow and I prefer Brigalow. Coopers seemed to take much longer to taste as nice. I just put extra raw ginger in...
