The wort was A LOT darker than a Hoegaarden, but the orange and coriander were definitely present when it went into the fermenter last night. It may not be a perfect Hoegaarden clone, but the blowoff tube attached to my fermenter is really blowing bubbles right now so I guess it will make some beer

Is it okay to leave something like this in the primary bucket for 3 weeks? All of my carboys are full and it's supposed to be a cloudy beer, so I figured I would not bother racking it.
yeah, you can leave it like that for about three weeks. when it is fully done fermenting, say 10 days, i'd put it somewhere cool for the duration. the risk isn't really cloudiness, it's that the yeast will begin to autolyze.
