Don't recall where I found the recipe, but I converted it to AG from
the original extract:
10.5lbs Maris Otter
2lbs Wheat Malt Grains
1lb 60L Crystal
1oz each Chocolate & Black Patent
1.25 oz Fuggles boiled 40 mins
1 oz Cluster " 20 "
1 oz Mt Hood at flameout
Orig. recipe called for Danstar London, but as it is no longer made, I
used 2 pks. Windsor.
Hit my target G of 1.066. Was vigorously going within 3 hrs of
pitching. Kept it in cellar, where temp was high 60s (F). After 3
weeks in primary, all activity had ceased, and settling of yeast was
evident.
On bottling today, I was annoyed to find my FG at 1.025, rather than
the 1.010-1.016 expected. That's only 62% att. But my biggest
concern was the cloudiness. Would it be perhaps due to the wheat? I
had never brewed before with that amout of it. Somehow this recipe
seems off.
Comments welcome.

That's going to be a pretty sweet beer considering the low IBU's. The
cloudiness may well be from the protein in the wheat. How did you
aerate the wort?

O2 with aeration stone. Oxygen, or lack thereof, definitely not a
factor.

What was your mash temp? Yeah, the cloudiness probably has a lot to
do with the wheat.

Was aboout 154. I'm convinced the yeast was the wrong choice. Should
have used one known to be more attenuative.

Nottingham would have got you an extra few points down the scale - it's
pretty attenuative.
Cloudiness - nothing that an ounce of gelatine and a couple of days in the
fridge can't fix - unless you're vegan of course.
