I racked this beer to secondary and was a little surprised by what i saw. Its my first batch that is cloudy. Im thinking it may be due to my ingredients. I use the same procedure every time I brew.
All grain brewed 2/6 number 8 recipe from northern brewer. (Bought ingredients elsewhere)
10 lbs pilsner
1.5 lbs caramunich
Mashed for 60 min at 152
Fly sparged 60 min at 170
1 oz magnum 60 min
Last 15min of boil add 2 lbs brown sugar and 1 lb corn sugar.
2 stage 1 L starter w/wyeast 1762 belgian abbey
OG 1.090 FG 1.017
The beer looked like a yeast starter.... very light and milky looking. I can post a pic if it helps. On the other hand, despite what it looked like I tried my hydrometer sample and it tasted good. Not sweet or boozy.
And I took a fg reading today and 2 days ago and its the same. It looks like I shook it up during active fermentation but it was done and I didnt shake it.
Sooo is this normal for the ingredients?
Thanks.
