The title says it all! I brewed this off the 150 commercial brew recipe book almost 3 weeks ago and it still looks like orange-cream. Has anyone brewed this before and is this normal due to the added honey? The gravity seems ok with a OG at 1.075 just shy of the projected at 1.079 and the last reading on the 29th it was at 1.017. The book said to ferment for 7 days then rack to 2nd but my gravity was way too high to rack after seven days. It just seems that this thing is taking longer to clear than anything else. We actually drank a few of these while brewing this and while they were not clear they we definitely not what I have in my fermenter! Please someone tell me they made this and its just the slow honey and all will work out! And would I benefit from racking this to secondary and cold conditioning it or do the honey ales prefer warmer temps? Thanks in advance for any tips!
