I'm a noob, and I just brewed my first Honey Hefeweizen (northern brewer Extract kit)
I'm curious because the recipe recommends 6 weeks until drinkable versus the typical 4 weeks I have encountered with the other extract ale kits I have made.
I have just transferred to the secondary ferm at the two week point, so is it right to assume I should have it in the secondary for two more weeks mandatory, and then bottle it?
Is the hydrometer really the only true confirmation? I understand why, but I also feel that a "better safe than sorry" mentality isn't a bad approach because the brew to bottle process isn't rushed.
A lot of sediment had settled out, but it's still very cloudy. Should I expect to to even clear up that much more since it's a hefe?
Any tips/knowledge/advice?
thanks in advance.
