Hello folks,

I brewed my second beer last Sunday using a can of Coopers Wheat Beer, 1KG of DME and used a packet of Danstar Munich yeast. Today is the 5th day and I have consistent airlock reading for yesterday and today. Can it be right? Only 4+ days and its done fermenting – is that right? Should I leave my wheat beer in for another 2 weeks to let it “mature”?

If it were me, I'd give it 2 weeks ion fermenter and if it's done bottle. Wheat beers are best young, but I'd still give it two weeks to ferment and "clean itself" of green flavors.

Agreed. I left my hefe in for two weeks. It was a Cooper's Wheat kit as well but I used 2lbs of Wheat DME, 1lb of their light dry malt, and Wyeast 3068 yeast. Came out great!

Don't be impatient, you'll be much happier with it if you just wait the time.
