Hello I'm new here. Just started brewing after a stroke 8 years ago. My name is Craig, but you can call me shotgun. I'm making a Dunkelweizen.

I decided to modify a dunkelwiezen to be more of a bock beer? I added 4lb. Of light brown sugar and two jars of molasses to the original recipe. The batch started fast and furious. After 3 days it slowed. Before I pitched the yeast I put yeast nutrition into my wort. Now I day 4 bubbles about every 7 seconds. My question is, should I add yeast energizer or leave it alone for now? Any suggestions?
 
Welcome! I have only added anything like yeast energizer after seeing the fermentation flat-line. If you arent seeing any activity, maybe take a sample to see if youre far off for FG? If youre still seeing bubbling though that would imply to me you still have healthy fermentation, i would let it ride for now.

Well, like I said, I haven't brews in 8 years. I made one batch before this 1 and it turned out great. A raspberry half bison hef. Anyway, I got anxious. I must be jitters from not brewing for so long but I put some. Energizer in it and it's picked up its pace a little.It's pace I'm using voice recognition.Yet to excuse me, I can't.I was paralyzed on my right side but i'm getting around better now only took eight years Anyway, seems to be doing okay?I'm gonna leave it be.I took a gravity on it Sunday, the eighth and I took one. It was 2516 point point 6 and on Wednesday. I took one that was 30.1, so I'm gonna let it work and thank you for the reply. Appreciate it, you have a great evening.
 
Thanks for the reply. Like I said, I haven't bruised in 8 years. I made it past before this. It was a raspberry half half of Hephaestus a wheat raspberry. I got voice recognition, cause I'm paralyzed on my right side. Anyway, I added to me stinker geyser. Cause I got jittery spent a while since I've brewed. And it's picked up the page, so I'm just gonna let it work and I'll Check-in time to time and see if anyone has any. More advice, thank you very much, you have a Good night.Imy
