extreme haze

Four days ago I brewed a beer and went with my own grains. I'm doing an extract beer and selected my own grains from the brew shop. They milled my grains for me there and I used almost the same kind of cheese cloth that comes in a kit. The only thing is my steeping time ran about five minutes past the average 20 and the temp got to about 180 before I yanked the grain bag out. Could this have contributed to a big time haze in my primary? It almost looks like dirty water. The smell comming out of my air lock is awsome though. A beer thief sample yielded a great flavor with only 4 days of being in the fermenter. Any reason why it's so dirty looking?

How much wheat did you use? My hazy beers have been high in wheat.

If its actively fermenting, the beer will look really cloudy as a result of all the yeast in suspensions as well as all the churing its doing. It will clear up eventually. As they say... relax, don't worry.....

If you're using a secondary, it will clear up quite a bit there. Otherwise, if it's still very cloudy when you would normally bottle, leave it for another week and it should clear up as well.
