So, my 2nd batch of brew was a blegium wit with a corriander orange peel pack. After being in primary for a week and a half and secondary for 2 1/2 weeks, i bottled. The beer is crystal clear. Every wheat i have had has been cloudy. Whats the deallyo? Did i leave it alone for too long? It tastes...

It was in primary for 12 days. When I did the hydro it looked liked the Belgium Wits I've had before.

Simple enough. I guess this is the first brew that I could actually see that happening. Thanks!

I just racked my Belgium Wit(with corriander and orange peel) to 2ndary yesterday. This morning there was a thin dark stripe at the top of the carboy. Now it's even bigger. I have no idea what's causing this. Perhaps the oils from the orange peels are separating? Here's a pic. Let me know...

Great news! Thanks, guys. The bubbles are what worried me. I didn't see this is my previous batches. I'll keep an eye our for fur.

The big chunks on top are orange peels. Sorry for the poor photography.

So, 7 days ago I brewed a Blue Moon clone extract kit. I popped the top yesterday and took a look and it looked a bit strange to me. This is my first wheat and the first brew with spices and orange peel. There is some stuff on top with some bubbles. Mind you, I left the orange peels and...

That makes sense, Zamial. Thanks for the words of comfort. I might just RDWHAHB.

It is an extract batch. The instructions said to add h20 until I hit the 5.25 gallon mark. I feel like I should have done hydro readings after each bit of h20 I added. I made sure it was well mixed before the hydro test. I think I just put too much h20 in there. Will this make the beer...

How bout this, the literature said the target sg should be 1.053. I gotta 1.046. Do you think this is because I did strain it? I let as much orange peel and corriander through as possible. My tap water measured just below 1, so that might make up .002 of it. Any ideas?

Excellent! Thanks for the advice, guys.

So, I'm doing my 2nd brew in a bit(water's on now). It's a Belgium Wit with a spice pack to add 15 min before end of cooking. My question is this. Do I need to strain the wort while pouring into primary? Do I just leave it in there for the duration? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

So, I primary fermented my extract fat tire clone for one week and 2 days. I then racked to secondary. It has been there for 1 week and 1 day. The FG was 1.009 for 3 days. The sediment is about a inch on the bottom of the carboy. My question is this, Is there really that much that takes...

Great! Thanks for the reply. I misread your first reply. Friday nights is the time when my brain don't werk gud.

Actually I meant, can I use gelatin in my carboy if I plan on keeping it at 65F until the end? Is this method used only when you chill?

Just to clarify....It [I]IS[I] okay to add to room temp carboy, one that won't be chilled at all?

Thanks for the advice, Wen. Dap, I took a sip of it form my hydro tube and was pleasantly surprised with how good it tasted already. I can't wait.
