Hi, Im brewing with a lager strain yeast at 20 celsius, its been three days and I havent seen clearing or changing of the color, is that normal?
 
Yes. The yeast has probably just reproduced and is going to town on all of that sugar. You're seeing it cloudy because there is so much yeast doing its thing. Don't expect to see clearing until about 3-4 weeks. Then you'll still have to wait and lager it further. What temp are you fermenting at?
 
Oh sorry I didnt told you, it already fermented a lot, krausen and everything, it already went down to 1 bubble per minute but I dont see a great change in color, its been fermenting at 20°C since momday night when I placed the German Layer yeast into the fermentator. Ill be racking monday (when its one week old). After that, I plan to keep fermenting at 20°C one more week until it clears, then do priming (2teaspoons of cane sugar in 1 gallon and a half of beer) and then 1.75L bottle. Do you think theres something wrong? Please give me your advice.Thanks for answering McGruber, you are the best.
