I brewed this 3 weeks ago. Right now it's in secondary (glass). It's been sitting on the spices for almost two weeks. Took a gravity test today and down to 1.030, so a few more weeks to go. Tastes FANTASTIC so far.

I had an og of 1.088, I contributed that to the squash though. Really looking forward to cracking these in the fall. I changed the hop variety slightly and replaced the almond extract with all vanilla.

Did the wheat DME make the beer cloudy?

It was pretty dark so I wasnt concerned with cloudiness. And now I dont really remember.
As far as the comment from smallierwider... Mine finished pretty high too and you are not too far from where I was. The squash was mashed so that there were not much in the way of fermentable sugars and thus it finished high. It was pretty much an accident. Apparently i was supposed to add other grains that would help make the squash fementable, but I didnt and thus it finished high which turned out to be great as far as I am concerned.
