Good Morning,

I am having a crack at my first wheat beer brew. I have just bottled it and after 2 days the sediment has fallen to the bottom and I am looking at a lager style brew. How do I get the authentic cloudy look?
Should I shake the bottles during this phase?
I ask as they should be moved to a cooler spot this evening.

Many Thanks
 
If they're only 2 days bottled you still need to keep them warm for a week or more to carbonate, providing you've primed them with sugar or other fermentable. Otherwise they'll either take forever or stay flat.

My wheat beers always stay very cloudy.
What yeast did you use?

As above do the old swirl as you finish the pour, like you used to get told on Hoegaarden bottles.

Personally I just leave out the last few ml of bottles and swirl the sediment down the drain unless specifically instructed otherwise

I agree with Jim, was it a kit or AG?

The haze should come from the malt. Swirling the yeast is more for the taste (I'm not a fan of doing that) although it will make it more opaque in the glass.

Make sure it's carbonated and conditioned ok and if it tastes OK don't worry about it.
