Belgian Wit Question

tbone · May 2, 2007

After doing a search and reading the posts there seems to be a lot of opinions on when to bottle a Belgian Wit. 10 days in the primary and bottle - 1-1 and then bottle - bottle as soon as the bubbles in the airlock stop, etc. I have a Wit in the primary at this time. For those of you who have brewed this beer, when did you bottle?

With any beer you should wait until it reaches the FG for the style.

Hold off until you can't hold off any longer.

I guess what I am asking is, if there is no practical use for secondary clearing, then should I bottle as soon as fermentation is done - FG is achieved?

It's a Belgium-style weizen that requires it being cloudy. There's no need to secondary.

Mine has been in primary for 2 weeks. I am kegging it this weekend.

Just make sure the gravity is stabilized.
