Well the hefe is an ale, not a lager. Also it only needs 1 to 2 weeks to reach final gravity in primary.

Can I just use dominoe sugar cubes and put 1 in each bottle?

I brewed the northern brewer hefeweizen extract 5 gallon kit. I did two kits , one on one then one on the next day. I got priming sugar for one kit, fizz drops for the other kit just to see How do they work and because I was having issue with priming sugar in my previous batches. At day 7 after...

I will do that!

I wasted two batches over beer not carbing, and now will dump another because priming sugar method just not working for me. Guess im stuck on fizz drops

Do you think if it wasnt mixed good enough, I would have flat beers than bottle bombs with others? Man I dont wanna pour another batch down the sink over this sugar ordeal, Seems like the only solution is to buy fizz drops because why bottles dont carb without it 😕

Im doing hefeweizen by the way

Well dang! Lol. Appreciate the feedback! So Im on my fourth batch of extract beer and this happened everytime with the prime sugar, hence why I got the fizz drops. I would like to get this figured out as Im going to AG. I used 1 fizz drop per 12 oz. Bottle and they all taste good and are all...

So another thing to mention is there is no head but bubbles in the beer

Hahaha! yes I added it at bottling time

I got a nice benchtop capper Im sure their is a good seal. I boiled the sugar and mixed it well. Maybe Im being impatient and need to wait another week or two.

Im talking about the the 5 oz. Bag of priming sugar that comes with most extract kits. Is that not enough for 5 gallon batchs?

Ive been having a recurring problem of my beer bottles not carbing with priming sugar. I recently made two batches, using priming sugar in one and opted to do the NB fizz drops for the other. Its been 10 days since botting, and the fizz drop beers are carbed and ready to drink. Once again -...

The batch seemed to have turned out good so far even with the sluggish fermentation! Taste test seems good. Its been 8 days and I'm exactly at target final gravity of 1.015. Is it too soon to bottle? I am not doing a secondary this time round.

Right on! Thats what I was thinking, it's just lagging some. Ill give my fermenter a little swirl to try and rouse the yeast. Thanks for the response! Cheers 🍻

Just a follow up on my new yeast pitch results- I just made two more 5 gal. batches of beer two days ago. I got two different results after I pitched the yeast and sealed the fermenter as suggested without mixing the yeast into the wort. What I noticed is the fermentation took longer to take...

Ok great! Next batch I think I will just pitch the yeast and let it do its thing.

Just joined the forum! Hello all! I'm on my second brew of hefeweizen and I got a healthy fermentation I think both times, however I have a question about yeast pitch. Is it necessary to stir in yeast or shake the fermenter? My Instructions suggests shaking the fermenter(bucket) after pitch...
