I've got my version of belgian white in the primary and the airlock is just barely bubbling along. I have read so many posts where people get vigorous and out of control fermentations with wheat malt and yeast so I am wondering why I don't get that. I have 6.6 lbs of wheat LME along with...

What's the poison of choice for tonight's celebration? You better get back to brewing, I'm sure you will have some empty kegs tomorrow.
