What yeast are you using? Actually, would be helpful to just see the whole recipe.
Ok, some of this is in Swedish but you should understand the important stuff

So looking at the recipe (which I'm happy to say was far easier for me to understand given how little Swedish (read:none) I know), nothing in the grain bill or the yeast selection should affect clarity. Therefore I have to assume it is the "hop bursting" that is the cause of the haziness. It looks like you have 83.3g total (just under 3oz for any Americans reading) in the last 5 minutes of the boil, not to mention another further 60g (~2oz) as a dry hop. My guess is because the hops are added so late into the hot side, a large quantity of the hop oils is making it into the beer (note: this is certainly not a bad thing!), where they are binding to proteins in the wort to form what is known as colloidal haze. This is a fantastic scientific paper which goes extremely in depth into the properties of haze in beer and the causes of them.
My recommendations for you to help minimize the haze would be firstly:
Thank you for this reply! I have learned much from it
