Really well done SIPA. Mouthfeel is like a 8%er. Nice citrus/stonefruit presence. Only 4.5%
For a wheat that's pretty clearTasty HB Wheat Ale.

Time and gravity will do that. It’s been in the keg for about a month.For a wheat that's pretty clear
I think you may be running into what happens with egg nog. I'm sure if u Google egg nog curdle/clotting you'll find the scientific process going on. What you want to do is add your booze into the cream. Not your cream into the booze. It also happens when the abv is too high(Cream de) Lemoncello from earlier today.
There is some coagulation with the heavy whipping cream but it's not bothering me. Probably need to have the sugar content between 1/2 and 3/4 cups though. 1/2 is a bit too little. I think 1cup of the Everclear lemon mixture per750ml is too much also. I'll also use or make alkaline water for the next batch in attempt to smooth out the mouthfeel.
Have a plan for the next batch but I still have 4 of these left....

Mmm New Glarus beers!
Thank you sir for a starting point to research!I think you may be running into what happens with egg nog. I'm sure if u Google egg nog curdle you'll find the scientific process going on.

It's probably more visible in lemoncello but it took a while for it to settle the clotting in egg nog. There is an equation where it occurs. My best recipes that ive found, I usually up the booze by 50% and that's when I sometimes encountered clotting. It's more of a visible thing. It didn't effect the taste and a simple mixing smoothed it out. I have quarts of clumpy egg nog over 5 years old with raw milk and it keeps getting better with age. I have no fear as it has a lot of bourbon in it. Maybe push it to the max ratio and add a shot if you want to avoid the clotting and get a good whallop
You have good taste! Brewery is 20min away. Guess I should go there some day...This week’s smokestack comes in the form of a gargantuan and hefty West Coast IPA, Double Dales, by Oskar Blues Brewery. Tipping the scales at a massive 9.0% ABV in a Big-Boy 19.2 ounce can, that’s like drinking four regular beers. Bud Light drinkers exit the room, please!
Great tasting, easy drinking, Double Dale’s hides all this booze behind a great defensive line of hops – I could smell them 18” away from my pint glass. I’m really liking these big cans - I always enjoy a beer bigger that the glass I’m chugging from!
Whoa Nellie – hey what is this? The back end of that final remaining 3.2 ounce pour looks cloudy… Is this a “Can Conditioned” beer? Well, I am impressed! Double Dales has a “Pinkie finger” of head, medium to medium-low carbonation and decent lacing. Possibly some of those hop oils at play here. Great orangey color, this IPA is a crowd pleaser. Great thing is, if I want to zone out behind the bleachers for a couple hours, I only need to pack along two cans!
