Brewed an all grain Weizen last week.(Bee Cave Weizen). Its been 8 days and fermentation stopped after the third day. EdWort's recipe calls for an F.G. of 1.009. Well, I had a brain fart and I primed my batch before I took a hydrometer reading. The reading was 1.019!
To make this situation more stressful, I was also brewing an all grain Oktoberfest. The mash was 90 minutes, so I thought I had just enough time to bottle the weizen. I went ahead and bottled it.
Do I have ticking time bombs in my basement now? Did the corn sugar throw off the FG reading? I've had a couple of homebrews now and the stress level has gone down.
