First time brewing a California Common. Also first time using a lager yeast, much less using it at the higher temp range. When I was racking to the secondary, to dry hop, the beer looked nice and clear till I got to the bottom of the bucket and some yeast clouded the secondary. I figured no problem it will clear out as usual. However, into the second week in the secondary, the beer is still cloudy and I am now having doubts and feel that something is not right. (See picture)
OG was around 1.050 and when I racked it the FG was 1.009, little below the mark, but okay. I took another gravity reading today and it is still 1.009. The fermentation temp in my fermentation chamber was around 68 degrees.
Is this normal for a lager yeast at higher a temp? Am I just being paranoid because I am using a new yeast outside my normal comfort zone or do I have some infection going on in the secondary?
I plan to leave it in the secondary another week before I keg it. (Maybe longer???)
Any input would be great.
