I do all grain brewing with a rims set up. Normally don’t have a problem with recipes. My last brew was a pale with orange zest and coriander, cascade hops and white labs WLP007. Came out extremely murky, can’t figure out what happened? upload_2021-12-12_7-27-55.jpeg

Is that finished beer? My guess is you didn't give it enough time to clear.
 
Did you use ground coriander or whole seeds? Cause I made a marzen that used whole seeds and it was slightly hazey, but not alot

Also, did you cold crash or use any fining agents? That will usually solve it, that and time
 
That looks like the first few pints out of the keg. All the yeast and trub settles to the bottom and t's nothing but sludge until the sediment is blown out. It doesn't look particularly well carbed, either. If that's the first pour or two, subsequent beer should be clearer.
 
WLP007 drops like a rock and clears super fast, so it's not yeast. That yeast clumps when it settles and looks like cottage cheese, it can be so thick it plugs the liquid tube on the keg. It almost looks like starch haze from incomplete conversion, but it's hard to say from just a picture. Did you use a clarifier like gelatin?
 
Yup that's super murky wow that's like the first pour from a hopped up pale ale that maybe hasn't crashed yet.

Looks like someone's attempt at making oat milk themselves :D
Agree with "it will eventually clear", but my experience has shown that w/o "help" lagering a beer to clarity can take well over 6 months...
 
Too fine of a grind on the grain bill?
6 row with a whole lotta protein?
Did you not vorluof and boiled with a ton of grain in the kettle?
D) All the above?

Yeah that's a whole other level of hazy!
 
Depending on how much trub you transferred to the keg and how close you dip tube is to the bottom, you may be just sucking up crap from the bottom of your leg.
I'd suggest a gentle, keg to keg transfer.
Then ad some gelatin to the receiving keg and make sure the dip tube is cut a bit so it's about 1/2" off the bottom.
Should clear it up in a day or two.
And wow, that's a glass of tummy trouble!!
Cheers
