First the Background:
So I've been toying around with some new Wit Recipes and ended up with a couple (3) batches of very cloudy beer.
I'm pretty sure its the Yeast S-33 because after the first batch i made a pair of tests batches one with S-33 and the other with WB-06 and WB batch cleared up just fine, its just the S-33 doesn't seem to like the Wheat content in my beers because the only beers that have ended up so cloudy are the Wheats.
Its been a hot here in Mexico and where i keep the beers is cooler than ambient but probably 72 - 74, and the beer has been in primary for almost a month (will be month this June 27)
So first of all, is this normal? Should i stop using S-33 on my Wheat beers? or is it just the temperature?
I took an Hydrometer reading and got something like 1.020 which is pretty high i normaly hit 1.012. Is the yeast slacking off? Is the reading off because of so much suspended yeast? That is a thing that has been rolling around my mind, maybe the high reading is just telling me i have a normal very cloudy beer.
and lastly. I'm gonna clear up the batches with gelatin, will keep u guys posted on that and how its working out for me.
