Brewed an Annapolis Home Brew Belgian Wit on Wednesday. Everything went well and it is in the primary fermenting away. A few simple questions.
1. should this be racked to a secondary after most of the fermentation or leave it in the primary for 3 weeks? if left in the primary will this give it more sediment/cloudiness when bottled? Conversely will racking to a secondary (without stirring up the trub) give me a less cloudy more of a light haze beer?
2. what would be the optimal fermentation temp for Wit beer yeast? right now I have it going at approx 75 degrees F or should it be closer to 80?
3 when bottled again would 7- to 75 be OK? or warmer?
Thanks in advance for your responses.
