Still learning but, I made two 1 gallon batches of a Wheat beer on 1/29/12 using 2 different yeasts to see how they were different. My question is how long to wait to bottle a wheat? I have heard it can be done much quicker than most other beers. I have a hydrometer and my OG after boil was ~1.053 (still learning to read) With the recipe below what would you suggest? Also any thoughts on the recipe?
2 1 gallon batches of:
1.12 lbs Pale Wheat
1.12 lbs Pilsner Malt
.2lb Vienna Malt
.15oz Spalt hops (2/3 at 60min, 1/3 at 30 min)
.05oz Saaz hops @ 10 min
Fermented one with a half pack of Fermentis WB-06 and one with a half pack of T-58. Both took off about 3 hours after pitching and have calmed down now.
