current batch
3 pounds german wheat malt
2.5 pounds german 2 row pale
.5 pounds german 55L crystal
2 pounds Orange Blossom Honey
1 oz liberty hops pellets (they smell awesome)
wyeast American Hefeweizen yeast
and I threw in a whirlfloc tablet to clear it all up.
It's in the primary right now, and it looks really really cloudy. I was hoping to get something a little cleaner in appearance coming out.
Is there any way to filter out most of the sediment, and when should I filter it? (bottling, before secondary, etc...)
I was thinking about using a coffee filter, unless anyone had any better suggestions. I just dont have a great idea about how that would work.
Also, I know it is a hefeweizen, its supposed to be unfiltered. Am i committing a taboo by even attempting to filter this? I am not trying to strictly follow the german style (or i wouldnt be filtering it),
I just want to know what I would be taking from the beer by filtering it.
