Hello all,I'm new to the site and new to home brewing.Got my first batch brewing right now.Purchased all the eqiupment and selected a "no boil kit" American steam lager made by Barons.I just racked to the carboy yesterday and it was very cloudy.After 24 hours it seems to be clearing up somewhat.Directions say to leave in the secondary 2 weeks.Was kind of nervous of the cloudyness,Is this normal?Greetings to all and any help or advice would be greatly appreciated !!

First off welcome to home brewing. Second, yes it is normal, it is all of the products put into the beer in suspension. It will settle and clear. I recently brewed a pale ale and it was VERY cloudy. After sitting in the secondary, and then kegged for 2 months it is extreamly clear. My friend that "hates homebrew", did not believe me when he looked at it and sampled it. I think I am going to have to show him how it's done.
Patience and it will all work out.

Thanks for the info.I've noticed that after about 4 days now it is starting to clear somewhat.I guess patience IS a virtue!
