Hey guys,
I went through the wiki and did a quick search on this but I still had some quesitons.
I am brewing a Dunkelweizen (I think maybe I might have the spelling of this down..if not I mispelled it on purpose..) The OG was right in the middle of the recommended OG for the recipe. After the first day my airlock got clogged and my top was about to burst so I pulled it off, covered it with some clean plastic wrap and cleaned and sanitized the airlock and replaced it.
After 8 days and no bubbles left I took the top off and took a FG reading. The FG in the recipe is 1.010 -1.014. I am at 1.030. It tasted a little bitter but I assumed its because I haven't added the priming sugar. I read in the recipe that if the reading is too high just wait a few days. Which I am doing.
My main question is that if there are no bubbles...is the yeast still doing its job? Do I have any concerns here or anything I should do to make sure I am still on track.
Thanks for the help.
Eric
