I've read that wheat beers tend to be cloudy. When brewing a wheat beer or a Belgian white ale should I still be using Irish moss to help it clarify?
Thanks,

depending on how you are carbing the bottles it could definitely be carbed in as little as two or three days. if you go with the 3/4 cup of sugar and 1-1/2 cup of water method it will be carbed 4 or 5 days tops as long as you keep it at room temperature.
Ok I have 5 ounces of priming sugar he told me to mix this with a pint of water for my 5 gallon batch. So I guess ill let them sit at room temp for a little over a week. So it needs to sit in the primary for 2-3 weeks?
I wouldn't worry to much 5 days isn't a whole lot of time for anything to dropout. Even if it doesn't don't worry yourself to much about it, when you rack it over to your secondary (if you use a secondary) it will probably remain behind. And if not it certainly will be left behind in your bottling bucket since it will be below the spigotI'm brewing a beer similar to blue moon. I just took a hydrometer reading(my first one because I just got my hydrometer). This is after 5 days in primary my reading was 1.017. I'm not really concerned about the reading, but the dried Orange peel and coriander seeds are just floating on top and I was told they should drop to the bottom. And the beer has sediment floating all around in it, I know its not supposed to be clear, but it seems like there's a lot of stuff floating.
No I didnt, it is a wit beer something similar to blue moon, ill just take a sample before I cold crash it and see what I think. It's only been 5 days but the way its looking now I think I'm gunna want to cold crash it for a couple days. Another question I'm pretty sure the guy at my lhbs told me to squeeze the bag of flaked oats after I got done steeping them. Was this a bad idea?
