So, I have a half dozen extract kits now under my belt. For my 7th one, I decided to make a raspberry wheat. I used Northern Brewer's American Wheat extract to start with. Then, after reading and talking to many people, I elected to rack that beer on top of three pounds of formerly frozen, but at the time of racking, thawed raspberries. The wheat was in primary for one week and had reached its FG. I was told by N. Brewer my brewing plan and they said one week in primary for that kit (OG was 1.040, so pretty modest) would be plenty. Fermentation went as planned and my FG was 1.011 or so.
Woke up this morning to see the raspberries (or what's left of them as they're kind of all mashing up/dissolving kind of) still at the top of my Better Bottle. Will they eventually settle out? I would assume, as it's only been 12 hours since I racked. I also noticed some modest airlock activity. I assume that's from the yeast having new sugars to consume from the fruit?
Is there anything to be concerned with here or does everything sound normal? I think I'm okay, but have never done a fruit beer before so just wanted to make sure I'm okay.
