Hi all
I have read a lot here about 3068 being a beast in primary fermentation. I have a honey weizen now five days in primary using 3068. I didn't make a starter, my target OG was 1.052/1.056. My Og came in at 1.054. I pitched the yeast about 3 degrees above the max temp as per Wyeast which was last Sunday
I have my swamp cooler water at 60 degrees since Monday. It's being fermenting away nice 2 inch head of krausen, lots of gurgling from my blow off tube.
Do you think I should raise the temp of my swamp cooler water a couple of degrees or let it ferment at the lower end of the scale assuming the internal temp of the Carboy is 5/7 degrees hotter.
Sorry for the ramble, just trying to make good beer. This is my second extract brew.
