My beer is in the secondary, while transfering from primary, I noticed the beer very cloudy. I used finings. It looks like it is cloudy, dark cloudy, not from yeast. It looks like it's cloudy from the grain. Do you think this is going to settle out completely by the end of my 2 weeks in secondary?

Also, my beer seemed stuck at 1.018 so I pitced a little more yeast. Is it possibly stuck here because of unfermentable sugars? I used Pilsner and Vienna grain. I was going for about 10 gal. but ended up with about 8 gal. OG 1.052 FG 1.018 I was going for a malty beer. Mabey 1.018 is good for what I want. I used Nottingham yeast. I think this has a gigh attenuation.

I got a total of 6lb of grain and also used LME. Grain was $7-8 something like that. Fairly inexpensive.
