Hello All
I have my first hefe-weizen in primary right now. I chilled the wort
and the starter down to 55F and pitched it on Sunday and then let it
rise on its own to about 62-63F (going by that 30C German saying).
It took all week to drop to 1.015 from 1.053 and it's still
perking. I'll be out of town for a few days - is there any reason for
me *not* to rack it to secondary tonight? Should I secondary it warmer
at (say) 72F, which is ambient in my basement? This was made with
WLP300.
Not worried about it sitting in a primary, just never made a
hefe-weizen before. Input welcome.
Some people will say that you don't even need to secondary a hefe since
it is supposed to be cloudy. If you do want to secondary it, then there's
no reason you can't rack it now. IMO, leave it at the same temp though. I
wouldn't warm it up to 72F on purpose unless you just can't maintain it at
62-63F anymore.
