When to bottle question

[Diaperload]

My 2nd batch of beer is in secondary and almost ready for bottling. It's a clone of Widmer Hefeweizen (american wheat). I've been taking a gravity reading for the past 4 nights and it hasn't changed. The reading is 1.01. Think it's ready for the bottle?

Sounds like it. If it hasn't dropped over the last few days, then it's done fermenting. On to the bottles!

How long was it in primary and secondary. Also you could probably skip the secondary especially if your making a wheat

No need to condition wheat

OP's name is diaperload. He should probably condition everything just to be sure. :cross:

It was in primary for 13 days. Secondary for 6 days.

Widmer Hefeweizen is usually cloudy and I've seen some recipes that call for 1 tablespoon of flour. I didn't use any flour so I'm guessing this batch won't be very cloudy.

My yield was 43 bottles. I use the Grolsch bottles.

I'll test them out in a week and see how my 2nd batched fared. I've got my fingers crossed.

It's always cloudy, and as some suggested 10 days fermentation in primary is all that is necessary. Enjoy it ASAP, wheats are generally better off fresh.
