Still new to brewing. I just made my second brew and I think something went wrong.



1. Briess Crystal 10 added preboil then removed before boil.

2. Maillard gold lme.

3. 60 min boil, cascade hops for 60 min. Whirlfloc tablet and williamette hops at 5 min.

4. Honey at end of boil.

5. Poured Cooled wort with too much trub into carboy.

6. Dry yeast, 1 pack.

7. Fermentation was rapid and vigorous for 24 hrs. Temp was on high end by mistake 77F.

8. Currently on d 3 of fermentation with a bubble every 1 minute.

At d 3 beer is really really cloudy. Should I be concerned? Should I be concerned with rapid and short fermentation?
 
the vigorous fermentation and high temp was probably from the honey most likely, it happens to me too very often. The yeast love good clean sugar, I would just let it set for the normal time even if activity stops
 
once all activity stops, it should clear more. some yeasts are more cloudy than others, you could have used a cloudy type. if it doesn't clear after a couple weeks you could add a fining agent, like gelatin.
 
At 3 days, don't worry about it at all. Primary shouldn't even be complete - a clear beer at that stage would indicate more of a problem than a cloudy one!
