My first brew and just took my first FG reading. It says 1011-1112 (OG 1053). I believe that to be just right and ready for bottling.
The beer is a high gravity german wheat, with 3 lbs of DME (and a can). I also steeped some crystal grains.
I've had it in the primary for 15 days now. All of the members of my LHBC are telling me to rack in a secondary to clarify - all of them. I told them most members here don't bother doing that and recommend just a longer primary.
It smells really good now but is a bit too cloudy (though I don't care). Should I just go ahead and bottle ASAP or no rush, give it more time to clear up? It's been sitting on 72F all this time. Some LHBC members are telling be to rack it and bring it into my garage where it's about 40F-55F for a few days.
Could my FG get too low and introduce some bad tastes?
Thanks.
