Okay, so I am getting really impatient leaving my oatmeal stout in the secondary (it has only been 5 days...). I think I need to start my hefe to keep me from bottling my oatmeal stout too early. I am getting bored! I have been browsing some hefeweizen recipes, but I don't know what to go with. I think I want to do something with oranges, is that too difficult for a 2nd batch?
Any recipe suggestions (even without oranges)? Something simple and quick to get to drink? If it helps any, I had some Hoegaarden off tap the other night. I thought it was pretty good. Maybe something like that? I know the light color will be tough to replicate, but that's okay.
After it is done in the primary, a hefe doesn't really need a secondary, unless you have fruit right? If I do fruit, how long should it sit?
Also, on a side note, how long should I keep the oatmeal stout in the secondary? The yeast looks pretty settled and I am not getting bubbles very often.
