Hello all,
Im a new member and new to the home brew world as I have only made a few brews using kits. And would like to start off by saying this is a great site full of great advice.
Im currently brewing a Coopers Wheat Beer and would appreciate some expert advice as Im not used to the way the brew should behaving.
With the kit I have used 500g of Muntons Wheat Beer Spray Malt and 300g of Dextrose as the kit suggested. And used Safbrew s33 yeast in replacement to the standard yeast provided.
What I dont know/understand is the following:-
1) Should there be a yeast cap? Or as this is a Wheat Beer fermentation occurs at the bottom. I dont have a yeast cap just a bit of froth but its bubbling away like a beauty.
2) The kit says that fermentation should be completed within 10 days but a lot of comments I have seen say leave for a longer period of time to allow the yeast to brew out. If I reach FG should I move to the next stage or leave it?
3) Do I need to drop it into a secondary or bottle straight after primary?
Thank you for your help.
