So this is my second batch and I decided to make a wheat beer... not only a wheat beer but a blueberry wheat beer. I made it about 2 days ago and it fermented almost immediately then it started fermenting almost violently to the point were sediment was comming out of the air lock, now its come to almost a dead stop... is this normal for a wheat beer, did I do somthing wrong? Thanks guys!
 
My hefe that I just bottled ceased to have any airlock activity within 48 hours. Leave it sit for a week, then take some gravity readings for a few days. I still let mine sit for a full two weeks in the fermenter before bottling.
 
I've heard that hefe yeast can be violent, sounds like you had a typical fermentation. Enjoy!
