Hi guys, new brewer here with only a few extract brews done. so far all has gone well. My latest batch is Sam Calagione's Blood Orange Hefeweizen. (http://www.popularmechanics.com/home/how-to-plans/beer-recipes-how-to-home-brew-hefeweizen) I tend to follow most recipes literally the first time and did the same with this brew. The recipe called for the addition of pasteurized fruit and peels to be added to the primary. Basically its been in the primary for 2 weeks now, fermentation is finished and there is still some pulp and peel floating on top. Normally I let my brews sit for 3 -4 weeks in the primary then rack to my bottling bucket. Should I leave this batch another week or two and try to rack from under the fruit to the bottling bucket or should I try to carefully rack the beer into a secondary so it's away from the fruit and possible mold attacks ? Would it be better to just use a sanitized strainer and carefully scoop out the fruity stuff and leave it in the primary to finish up ?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
