I brewed my first extract kit on 1/15. It was a Weizenbeer kit. I followed the instructions on the kit, as most first time brewers do. And like most kits, the instructions didn't fully explain what I should be doing.
Anyways, I took my first SG reading (instructions didn't mention taking SG before fermentation) today (11 days fermenting). The kit says it should ferment for around 12 days. From what I can tell, it's reading about 1.011. The instructions with the kit say the beer should finish at 1.019 or lower. Does this seem like a reasonable SG for a Weizenbeer?
I also tasted a sample while checking the SG. The beer actually tasted delicious. My one concern with the taste is that it tasted kind of watery. Is that normal or did I used too much water when brewing?
