I say be patient, I did a weizenbier with the same yeast on sunday, it bubbled a lot the first two days, today its a bubble here and there, let sit for 2 weeks or so then take hydrometer reading. Patients is key

I just finished with some cream ale, I had let it sit in fermentor for 2 weeks and then bottled after I got the same hydrometer reading for 3 days, then let sit in bottle for 2 weeks, well at least half of them are still sitting, I usually try some after a week, the longer they sit the better...

Congrats, looks good. Doing my first AG in a fews weeks, getting everything set up at the moment. What type of beer did you do?

Finally got my wife to try the American Cream Ale, got her stamp of approval. Hope that means I can upgrade to bigger and better AG brewing, lol

Thanks, it was my fourth brew. Going to all grain now

Going to rack to secondary next time to see how much it helps in clearing it up and taste

That reddish brown thread was some good info. I just finished brew Brewers Best Weizenbeir and it has you use 3.3lbs of the extract in the first part of boil and the rest later in the boil, hope that makes it a little lighter. Then again all my extract kits pretty much looked the same.

Thats what I was told about secondary so never used one. Was looking for the whitfloc tabs but fidnt find it locally, can get the moss locally, how to use it

I dont have a secondary yet, wondering if that would help with clearing it up. Hows the weizenbier?

I like how it came out, going to do the all grain version next

I used The Brewers Best kit

American cream ale came out good, time to step it up to all grain after my last extract boil tomorrow, weizenbier

Plan on giving it more time to condition, just tried one just for the hell of it. Got frozen bottles around my 5 gal bucket and its keeping it at72, guess I will add another and see where temp goes to, thanks

Taste tested a bottle after one week of sitting in my closet, taste good but has a small rubbing alcohol smell, closest thing I can compare it to, but over all it was clear and taste good. Think fermenting temp got to 80 one day. Would the fermenting temp getting high cause this?

With 3 brews under my belt. The buckets work good, plan on getting a carboy soon. The advice I have been given is start slow learn how to do the beginner stuff ad move up when comfortable.
