So I bottled successfully and at the two week mark of bottle conditioning I threw a couple in the fridge. Well, the taste was there and it was amazing. Great banana flavors and smells yet my beer was flat still! I read a couple posts on here and have since wrapped them in a couple blankets and...

Haha. No doubt. Thanks for all the feedback!

So it has been 9 days since pitching in the fermenter and I went to take a gravity reading only to find that the yeast is still bubbling. Is this ok? How much longer should I wait? Also, the smell was kinda funny. Almost like a vinegary hefe weissen. Anyone had this happen? Something to worry...

Seems like everything went well! OG reading at 1.048 and crazy action after I pitched at 68-69F. Only thing is now, should I worry about the action settling down and it's only day 2-3? The bubbles were nonstop the first 48hrs after pitching but its all but stopped. Here's a pic! Cheers!

Amazing! Thank you!

Cool. So what would a normalish OG and FG be? Sorry, I'm a rookie!

Another question would be how long would be recommended for time in the fermenter? Rack to secondary? Standard two weeks after bottling before enjoying? Cheers!

though i feel much more informed, now i feel rather lost and wondering if i chose the right ingredients. could i do a partial mash with the munich malt and then use the 3.15# wheat LME? if so, any recommendations?

great! thank you!

also how much wheat LME should i use? right now i have a 3.15# and a 6#...

awesome. thanks for all the feedback! slarkin, care to elaborate just a little on yeast pitch rate and wort aeration? what i know of the two, is pitching the yeast is impt to do at certain temps and wort areation would be the swirling and mixing of the water and wort after the wort has cooled...

should i scratch the munich malt then? when i bought that i really didn't know any better. lol. rookie mistake!

The wheat LME I have is 65% Wheat, 35% barley...

Yooooooo So from previous posts I came up with a clone of this hefe weissbier (probably my favorite overall beer) and wanted to know what y'all think before I go ahead and brew it later this week. This will be only my second brew, but my first one turned out amazing (NB Pale Ale kit) and...

I would like to know EVERYONE'S opinion on this. I already know brown does better at "protecting the beer from light" but there are sooooo many (especially european breweries) who use green bottles. So which is better? Brown, green or no difference? Cheers! :mug:
