First of all I have been lurking on the board for a while and enjoy all the help and antics of this group.
I said I would wait until I had something meaningful to say before posting but alas I am a noob and must ask the obligatory dumb noob question.
I have made several all extract batches but my last batch was a kit from my LHBS, an American Pale ale with some specialty grains 6.6 lbs lme, hop pelets added to the boil, a Whirlfloc tab, and I added 1lb of rice sugar solids to boost the abv.
My problem is the brew has been in primary for over 3 weeks and is still very cloudy. I have never used a secondary and usually by this time it has settled to almost clear. should I breakdown and invest in a secondary? or with the amount of extract and adjuncts am I not being paitent enough and just need to RDWHHB?
I know the fermentation has completed as I have checked the Hrydrometer and have had stable reading for some time (4 checks over the last 2 weeks)
Thanks in advance
