I am on hour 48 of primary fermentation on a Belgian Wit that included a partial mash of 8 oz. German Pils, 8 oz. What Malt, 1 pound Flaked Oats, with 2 pounds of honey and 4 pounds extra light DME in the boil. I used Wyeast Belgian Wit.
There is a thick layer of krausen on top, but appears to have nothing going on otherwise. I will take hydrometer readings 3 days apart beginning today, but was unable to test the wort prior to pitching as my hydrometer was unknowingly broken at that time. I have read that honey is low in nutrients required for the yeast, and if I had to do it again, I would probably lower the percentage of that in the fermentables.
I am wondering what I should do moving forward with this batch?
Any help would be extremely appreciated!
