I made an all grain with 3 of 12 lbms as flaked grain (one lbm was flaked wheat). The mash seemed to go well, 50 minute boil with plug and pellet hops. Cooled to 73 degrees in 10 minutes.
I sanitized my glass carboy with 1-step and hot water. I drained my wort into it and capped with a blow off tube.
Took it inside and added the Cream Ale yeast. After 6 hours the pellet dust settled to the bottom and the beer was clear. The firmentation started and I added wildflower honey (3/4 cup). Everything looked normal for two days. Today my wife tells me the beer looks tan. Sure enough, it is cloudy tan, as if the hops came off the bottom, but tan. The krausen looked like worm holes under a rock. I swirled the carboy and the bubbles really go going for 30 seconds and then returned to the normal pace.
My question is, why is it cloudy and what the hell is going on?
