Did a Northern Brewer Bavarian Hefeweizen today, this is only my 2nd batch overall. A few general questions:
My original specific gravity is 1.054, which is slightly higher than expected (1.040-1.045). What are some possible causes for my specific gravity to be slightly elevated?
Are there basic things about Hefeweizens in particular that I should know? (Fermentation time, conditioning, etc)
I added some orange peel at 15 min and then put it all into carboy. My plan is to let it ferment 2-3 weeks until 3 consistent SG readings anyway before bottling.
Thanx!
