Suspension in my Honey Weizen
Posted: Thu Mar 24, 2011 2:49 pm
Just tried my Northern Brewer extract honey weizen. Was wondering about what seems to be a heavy amount of yeast which is almost in suspension or is VERY slow to settle back out. There does NOT appear to be anything off with the flavors - although I am fairly new at this. I know wheats are typically cloudy, but this seems a little heavy.
My gravities were 1.050/1.010, so I think I hit them okay. This sat in primary for 18 days, secondary for 16, and bottle-conditioned for the past 30. Carbonation and head seem good. There is some yeast leftover in the bottle as expected. Beer tastes JUST a bit on the thin side, but that could be the "American" part of this wheat. I used Safale WB-06 yeast. And finally, this particular bottle was part of split 5-gal batch which was divided 2/3gal. In the 3-gal, I added some strained, lemon-infused vodka.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
