For a American wheat style bear what kind of final gravity could i expect? I know this is a very broad question, but any insight will help.
I brewed up a kid of of an American wheat bear that i recivied from my local brew shop thursday, and left it at my bothers house to ferment. I came back...
The beer taste's fine...........
The problem is theres no carbination. I added the priming sugar to the bottling bucket as i transfered the beer, however i didn't stir everything up

Thanks for the reply, as far as sanatizing the siphion and the secondary is soaking them in bleach solution then rinsing them a adaquate plan for those as well? How important is using the hydrometer?
