Hey! I have a hefeweizen in primary and I don't know if I should transfer to secondary, I'm not looking for a kristalweizen but the exact opposite, I want the hazy stuff, should I rack or just leave it there for two weeks at 60.8 F (BYO recommendation), Thanks
 
Is your gravity stable? Hefeweizens are best young, so once your gravity is stable (2 readings the same over a few days), and at or near your target FG, go ahead and bottle or keg.
 
Transferring to a secondary will not clear this beer. It is a wheat beer and will remain hazy. No need to secondary though as said. Hold your racking cane above the trub and bottle when it is stable plus a couple of days for yeast clean up.
