Hi. I have had a creamy wheat beer fermenting since friday night. Thje temperature in the Philly area rose into the high 80's today, and i seem to have lost all bubbling. I know that airlock is no serious indication as far as whether or not fermentation has stopped; and I also know that there is a chance that the temp rise caused fermentation to stall. The temp erature in the house today got up to around 79F. but fermentation visibly slowed down starting yesterday. I plan on leaving this in primary for another week or so anyway, and i have already 'swamp cooled' it with a wet t shirt, and a move to the basement bathroom.
Please dont bash me for not using the search tool....I did. Everything up until this part of my post was just to give you a bit of background. Now, here is the question.
Since this is my first wheat beer....do wheat beers generally take as long to ferment as barley beers?
Thank you.
