I've been asking a lot of questions on this forum lately and I'd like to say thanks for all the help. Here is another set of questions...
I brewed a Chinook IPA kit on Oct 20. The OG was 1.052 and the temp was 72F. On Oct 29 I transferred it to a secondary, glass carboy, and dry hopped 1oz of Chinook Hops. The SG was 1.018 and the temp was 68F. I used Wyeast 1217 West Coast IPA yeast.
I just checked on it today and it is very cloudy. Will this become any clearer or will it stay cloudy? (I know using Irish Moss would have helped - thought I had some but it was empty) The airlock still bubbles in the carboy from time to time and it is also darker than I expected.
How can I fix the cloudiness? Or can I even fix it now? I planned on leaving it in the carboy for two weeks and I'm half way there now. Maybe three weeks there?
Should I move it to a cooler location like my garage rather than the basement? Since it's getting cooler outside, I thought that may help - low 60s/upper 50s in the day and low 40s/upper 30s at night.
Thanks!
