I have a brown ale bubbling away right now in which i use WY3068. I know i wont get a crystal clear beer due to the hefe yeast's low flocculation.
Would i be better off leaving it 2 1/2 weeks in the primary in hopes the yeast will pack into a tight cake or should i rack to seconday after fermentation is over.
I guess what im trying to say is would the beer benefit from being:
2 1/2 weeks primary, 1 1/2 weeks secondary
OR
1 1/2 weeks primary, 2 1/2 weeks secondary.
Or does it really matter at all?
Regardless of what i choose i'm going to keep the secondary in the high 50s and use gelatin.
