I just brewed my first Hefeweizen. Not my favorite style but the wife needs to have her fix too. This is my 5th batch. I went through the whole process and saw that my FG was much lower than my target FG. Should I be worried about anything?
Extract Brew- 6lbs LME, 1 lb light DME; Steeped 8oz Carapils
1 oz Tettnang
OG-1.044 @70F
Pitched Wyeast Weinstephan 3068 Activator yeast
The fermentation was rather quick. It was over by day 4. I left it in the primary for 13 days. Bottled on day 13. Used a wine thief to check FG.
FG- 1.003 @63F
No musty, medicinal or newspaper notes. My house smelled of German Hefe so much so that my wife helped with the bottling. Am I being paranoid? Have never had any infection problems with any of my previous beers
