Running into a problem I haven't had before. I'm brewing an apricot wheat beer based on an all extract recipe posted here. Primary fermentation went fine, but now that I've added the apricot puree, i'm seeing no airlock activity and a slow, if none fermentation. Here's the recipe along with data log:
6lb Alexander Wheat LME
.75 Briess Weissen DME
1.5 oz Tettnanger 45 min
.55 oz East Kent Goldings 5 min
Whirfloc Tablet 20 min.
Nottingham yeast
O.G. 1.016
Brewed 4/16
4/23 Added 3lb. Oregon Apricot Puree to bottling bucket and racked first part of recipe on top.
No airlock activity
4/27 Gravity 1.026
4/30 Gravity 1.025
I'm floored that adding the puree hasn't started a vigorous secondary fermentation, and I'd rather not pitch more yeast as that basically creates a second primary fermentation and I'm worried about losing the apricot flavors.
Help or explanations anyone?
