I just brewed a wheat this morning using 6.6lb of Briess Bavarian Wheat liquid extract, 1 lb of the same but DME, 1/2 lb of oat flakes and 1/2 lb of wheat flakes. A few hours later and my carboy had 4.5 inches of trub at the bottom. I have brewed a wheat before and this did not happen. Any...

After 3 weeks it never stopped fully bubbling. It was more spread out. About every minute. I managed to get a consistent gravity of 1.004 after 2 days of waiting so I bottled with DME and will leave it alone for at least 3 weeks. Thanks every one for your input. I have never experienced a...

What I mean is that they have better head, nicer lacing, smoother taste. Not necessarily more carbed but just nicer to drink.

Ok will wait 2 more days. I have never had a beer go below 1.008 before but although it tastes pretty dry, it doesn't taste bad at all. It feels like its going to need a few extra weeks in the bottle. Maybe I over pitched when I did my starter? I did let it go for 2 days in the stir plate.

3 days later and gravity is at 1.004. It doesn't taste like vinegar so I'm going to risk it and bottle. It's still bubbling every 34 seconds or so but I guess I will risk it. Any recommendations on if I should go with the standard 5oz or should I do less?

What I'm referring to is beer somewhere in the muddle. Not at the end. When this happens some of the beer at the end is not as good as in the middle. From what I have read leads me to believe that it is more about inconsistent sugar and possible cleanliness problems. I think I will stir my...

Thanks will give that a try next time. :mug:

I am a beginner. I have brewed 7 batches so far but I have noticed something in my batches that I can't figure out. My beer is really good but there are like 2 or 3 bottles in each batch that are amazing. Somewhere in the middle of the batch they show up. Perfect head and lacing. Awesomely...

I'm hoping its done too but I don't want to risk any bombs. I am surprised no one has run into this before.

I moved it after it had been bubbling for a few hours so I could check on the gravity to see what was going on.

No temp changes and no movement before I got to wondering and moved the fermenter to take a gravity reading. I was counting my Mississippi's too slow yesterday. It's more like 25 seconds apart. But it has been constant now for 18 hours. I guess I will know tomorrow after a second reading if its...

I took the first reading of 1.006 today at 2:30pm, it is now 10:00pm and still bubbling about once every 15 seconds. I will take another reading in the afternoon tomorrow. I want to avoid bottle bombs at all cost. If it is co2 gassing off then it should be ok. Only the hydrometer will know for...

I am a beginner. I have only brewed 7 times. I am brewing a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale extract clone. My OG was supposed to be 1.051 but it ended up being 1.044. My final gravity is supposed to be around 1.013. I am using White Labs WLP007. I made a starter using a stir plate. The brew fermented...
