Hello my new virtual brewing family! Here's my first post/question beyond the intro....
I'm still pretty new to brewing, I just brew Hefeweizen, about ten 5 gal batches so far. Brew shop owner suggested I try giving it a secondary. I see many don't secondary their Weizens, but I did for the last batch and it seemed improved.
I'm wondering how long to leave it in secondary, after my one week primary. I assume there must be some point when longer isn't any better, diminishing returns? I'm very patient for results, but don't want to waste time either, or worse do it any harm.
Any wisdom on how long to secondary a Weizen? Where any longer wouldn't help any?
Thanks,
Jesse
