Hi all
New to these forums and too brewing. I started a hefe kit using all malt extract rather than dextrose. I opened it up yesterday to check SG and it was at 1.20. So last night i agitated it and shook the fermenter drum up, its bubbled like crazy and all the airlock water got blown out.
My fermenter is a copper tun plastic drum, its kinda see through, but not completely. It was all a nice yellow golden hefe color all the way through from the outside.
This morning i woke up and the top 5cm , 2", of the beer was a much darker color than the rest. Today when i got home, about 12 hours later, the top 10cm, 4", is a darker color..
Is this normal? or have i got some sort of infection going on. Its now day 6 of the primary.
Cheers
Rob
