Mine is aging nicely. Also still cloudy though. I haven't done a real review yet.

No,
its always ready to drink @wk 5, smooth and by week7 or 8 the keg kicks


The recipe works only if done exactly as posted, theres a reason for the 21day lager while dry hopping, before getting kegged or bottled.

I made this once and it was really great and very similar to the commercial version!

I am making up a batch this afternoon with clover honey instead of sugar. I am also trying a wheat yeast, Wyeast forbidden fruit:


A widely used strain in the production of Witbier and Grand Cru. This yeast will produce spicy phenolics which are balanced nicely by a complex ester profile. The subtle fruit character and dry tart finish will complement wheat malt, orange peel and spice additions typical of Wits.

Origin:
Flocculation: Low
Attenuation: 72-76%
Temperature Range: 63-76F, 17-24C
Alcohol Tolerance: 12% ABV

I moved all of the pics to another account, but now it seems my early posts have been locked so I can't repost the pics

I like to add the sugar the last 20 mins of boil along with the whirlflock- (makes it easier to remember )
If you add the sugar at the start of boil the wort comes out too dark.
