well hello there...

I don't think wheat malt would be a problem, I subbed it before for Carapils and everything tasted fine

Perhaps you shouldn't use a blowoff tube then... If CO2 is getting out and you're not concerned about a clog then there isn't really a need for a blowoff, I just like that extra comfort. As far as if you're keeping more beer that all depends on how much beer you lose through your airlock, but...

I wouldn't be overly worried about sterilization but I would clean your airlock out if there is beer in it. Also, I would put on a blowoff tube. I know you said you never needed one but in this scenario it sounds like you do, also it's much easier to attach a blowoff tube then to clean beer...

It didn't stop prematurely, sometimes the bulk ok fermentation can be completed within 2-4 days. However I would let it sit for another week or two so the yeast can clean up. Welcome to the forum, and have fun brewing.

I agree no brew kettle=I wouldn't do it, and 300 seems a bit overpriced

awesome...

Kegged some Bavarian Hefeweizen

Thanks! I just downloaded it and it will definitely do the trick.

Hey just thought I would let everyone know that the Draught Horse (right by Temple University, off Broad Street) is having a homebrew contest June 7th, 2011 with the style judged being wheat beers. Some cool prizes and sure to be a good time...

Never knew that thanks, I got the impression from the OP that it was dumped because of a lack of airlock activity so I just thought I would offer my .02 Sorry about your batch, better luck next time!

Ya I would make sure you rack your beer on top of your priming sugar.

Did you use your hydrometer?

Where in Philly? I'm planning on building a Keezer this summer and that looks awesome!
