Hello everyone,
I just brewed a simple hef and am debating pitching now or waiting until the cold break has settled. Or if it even matters. Will be pitching WLP 300.
I brewed this about 4 hours ago and chilled it down to room temp in about 10 minutes.
I will be putting this in my bathtub with frozen water bottles down to about 65, so I'm wondering if I should let it settle out overnight or pitch it now and RDWHAHB. I know hefs are generally turbid so it may not matter as much for hefs, but I was also wondering if the answer changes for other styles of beer.
Also, this looks peculiarly dark for a hef. I only used Breiss Bavarian Wheat DME and a bit of light specialty steeping grains. I added the DME to the last ten minutes of the boil. Is it just the volume of liquid in my 6.5 gal carboy making it look dark?
Here's a pic of the unsettled proteins
