A sure fire way would be to take a gravity reading, then take another a few days later. If the gravity stays the same, you know it's done. Apfelwein ferments dry at under 1.000. If you follow EdWorts directions properly, then you can rest assured it will be done fermenting in a month. I've...

I wouldn't be concerned. Sounds like they didn't have enough time to carb up.

3 weeks is typical, but longer is fine. Just check the gravity to be sure it hit the target before you bottle it.

Stopping by my LHBS to buy more caps, and ingredients to brew another hefe. First one came out fantastic.

Sounds like it's going to be one hell of a gathering! :rockin: I was thinking of throwing one once I invest in some kegs.

Took a gravity reading on a hefe. Bottling tomorrow.

5g Amber Ale and 5g Hefeweizen bubblin' away. 5 + 5 + 13,566.5 = 13,576.5

100% positive. This is ridiculously confusing, lol. It just doesn't make sense...

Just an update. Got the fermenter up to 65f and re-pitched a packet of US-05. Five days later, no change in the gravity. What gives? Could it really be done at 1.030?

Nope. Stays at a consistant 61 - 63. I'm pretty confused about this situation.. Never had this problem before.

I'm at a 1.03, lol. Maybe I should move it someplace a bit warmer, or repitch if all else fails.

Thanks for the reply! It's been in the primary for 3 weeks.
