White IPA

[Morrey]

My wife helps me with the brewing especially on brew day, but her tastes in beer are somewhat different than mine. I like Caribou Slobber, Hazelnut Brown and Guiness. She probably would pick Mich Ultra if we had a pizza or a Sam Adams if she went totally wild.

So to appease her on our recent trip to the LHBS, I suggested she pick an extract kit of her choice. It was a white IPA. We brewed it w/o much ado, and I was happy to oblige. Yesterday was rack to secondary day, and the beer was very cloudy. I thought I was sucking up trub with the racking cane, but I was off the bottom. Long story short this brew looks cloudy like a Hefe.....at least two weeks into the process.

Is this typical? I am not familiar with this style so just wondered if I was on target. The beer smells and tastes fine so I am confident it is ok w/o infection.

A White Ipa is basically a hoppy Witbier....Witbiers by nature, due to the yeast tend to be cloudy.

This is a good explanation of the style...you'll see a pic of Hoegaarden, which is lemony/cloudy, like the custard filling in a lemon cream pie.
