I checked the gravity again today and it was 1.10. As my first full mash I know there were a few things done wrong & not to the instructions. 1. My mash was definitely at too low a temperature. It kept dropping so I kept adding boiling water to try to bring it up. I ended up with very little water left for a sparging & I know that the mash, for the most part was too cool. 2. The instructions also were pretty poor in specifying how much water I actually needed- I assumed 23L, ended up using about 25L but only ended up with about 15L of Wort in the end after boiling. Could this be why it has a high gravity- too concentrated? 3. Probably didn't boil for the full hour ( i was in a mad rush!) 4. Probably didn't cool the wort down enough before pitching the yeast. I did use a chiller but, again, I was rushing too much. From most of these I have learnt something though which is good! 1. Fit thermometers to all of my equipment and dont rely on a crappy cheap dial meat probe thermometer. 2. Research better about how much water to use. 3&4. Don't start a mash at 2.30pm when you need to go out at 7pm. Also, dont rush even if I do need to go out at 7pm! Any more ideas on this disaster would be appreciated! Thanks guys for being so willing to help and informative, fingers crossed my next brew goes better. Perhaps I will try a very simple beer next. Suggestions welcome too!

Have you managed to take another gravity reading (making sure all is sanitised properly)? You may find it will be lower now, which means its still fermenting away, just with little action. If I were you I would leave it alone, sealed up for a week or so, then check the gravity, me thinks it will be fine ewiecluie on "First All Grain has stopped fermenting- after 24 hrs! :(" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/first-all-grain-has-stopped-fermenting-after-24-hrs#post-24225 Wed, 14 Dec 2011 15:04:21 +0000 ewiecluie 24225@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Thanks so much for all the help guys!

It didnt start till Monday morning (or Sunday night while I was asleep) and has now stopped (tuesday morning). The mash would not hold the required temp, had to keep adding boiling water and the yeast was possibly added while the brew was a little on the warm side as i was rushing to cool it down- it was fairly cold but i reckon still around high 20 degrees C. Any ideas as to why it could have gone wrong or any ways to save it?! Should I add more yeast? Additional sugar? Maybe the room it is in is too cold.... I did give it a stir today (probably a bad idea!) and the fermentation appears to have started a little again. Any advice would be much appreciated!

The waitrose wheat beer had some much more flavour. The Erdinger was very bland in comparison. I'm going to leave in until the weekend to try another bottle. simonp on "Weize Guy Wheat" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/weize-guy-wheat#post-891 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:17:13 +0000 simonp 891@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ By complete coincidence we went into to a Waitrose on Saturday (can't usually afford to shop in there!!), and I spotted their Bavarian wheat beer so bought a bottle to try. I had it last night, very nice indeed, far nicer than Erdinger, and preety similar in taste to the one I brewed a few weeks back, colour similar too. Fruit, spice, and malty breadiness. Greg, my wheat tasted slightly bitter straight form the fermentation bin, but did indeed mellow out after a couple of weeks in the bottle, so I reckon you'll be fine.

I'll shout in the new year for that recipe again.

Erdinger and waitrose Bavarian Weissbier. The Erdinger is really smooth and almost tastless but a nice brew. The waitrose Bavarian Weissbier taste almost identical to mine, well will do after a few weeks in the bottle. Really pleased with how its turned out and would highly recommend trying this. That 3068 wyeast has really done the job.

I did have a hoegarden a few weeks ago. It was other posts on here that got me thinking of a wheat beer and just sounded different and interesting. I'm going to grab a few bottles from waitrose for comparison. We do have a light crystal malt : <a href="http://www.brewuk.co.uk/store/index.php/ingredients/ingredientsgrains/caramel-malts/light-crystal-500g.html"> Light crystal malt </a> and we haven't removed any stock items only added new ones so if it was on there it still is. If you ever want anything that we don't have then let me know we can get hold of almost anything and have deliveries daily so not a problem to order something in for you.

Did you try a bottle from Waitrose? I went and bought some last weekend, right after we had the conversation! On a (slightly) related issue... Am I just imagining it - or did you have a pale crystal malt which has now gone? I'd filled my shopping cart with a few things I wanted to try next time 'round. Pale wheat malt, pale crystal malt, brambling cross & cascade hops ... and now it's all gone. Of course, I could have been dreaming this ... had quite a bit of work on lately. Could be getting twitchy! :o) Greg on "Weize Guy Wheat" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/weize-guy-wheat#post-805 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:05:12 +0000 Greg 805@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Hi Tony, no late hops at all, just some on the 60 min boil. Most of the flavour has come from the yeast as far as I can tell. Going to barrel the St Peters samples tomorrow so I'll let you know how that one is turning out. Tony on "Weize Guy Wheat" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/weize-guy-wheat#post-804 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:54:07 +0000 Tony 804@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Good stuff.... I wish I was there! Did you do a dry hop in this one? Greg on "Weize Guy Wheat" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/weize-guy-wheat#post-803 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:43:14 +0000 Greg 803@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Okay bottled this one last night after a week and half in a closed fermenter. Tastes really nice, more bitter then I expected but I think that will mellow out in the bottles. Amazing tastes from the wyeast, fruity and spicy and very deeply flavoured for such a simple recipe. Can't wait until its fizzy and cold as the taster was flat and warm but still delicious. Managed to get 38 bottles so not too bad at all. Bottling wasn't as bad as I remembered either. Used 120g of brewing sugar which should give me a nice carbonation. dandan on "Weize Guy Wheat" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/weize-guy-wheat#post-618 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 13:54:42 +0000 dandan 618@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Nath, try this: <a href="http://www.beersmith.com/BeerSmithHelp.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.beersmith.com/BeerSmithHelp.pdf</a> Nath on "Weize Guy Wheat" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/weize-guy-wheat#post-615 Sun, 08 Nov 2009 09:53:03 +0000 Nath 615@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Any possibility of a run-through with beersmith?

Planning to brew the wheat beer tomorrow, got a wyeast in 2 litre starter which is looking good. Re made the Rakau Rhino 2 weeks ago and barreled it on Sunday. Tastes amazing already. Really nice flavour from the hops but mild so the malt flavour is really coming through. I'm running a bit low on supplies so hopefully it will clear quickly.

I'll have to put it to use :O) Yes .. remember the christmas beer I posted .. well I did two 5 gal batches, one with the spice and one without. I did the 'without' first and that should be ready to bottle sometime this week ... been in the secondary for a week and a half and its the first time I've done a dry hop, really interested to see how it comes out. The 'with' will be racked to secondary today sometime also interested to see how the spices are showing. How about yourself?

Beersmith is so much better. I did have a look at it a while ago but looked really complicated but its actually not too bad. Yes never done a AG wheat beer before so thought I would give it a go. Hoping I don't get a stuck mash though as I've heard this can happen when using large quantities of wheat. I guess I will have to bottle this one too but never mind, its always nice to have a few bottles of home brew, especially in the winter when I don't want to go out to the cold garage every time I want a beer. Your wheat should be fine for quite a while. Any crushed grain should be kept in a airtight container then it will last for ages, easily a year! Have you been brewing? Tony on "Weize Guy Wheat" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/weize-guy-wheat#post-593 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:23:57 +0000 Tony 593@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Glad you've joined BeerSmith! :o) How goes it Greg? You'll have to let me know how this turns out, looks like a nice recipe. I have some wheat malt left over from the last couple of batches. How long do you recommend I keep it (it's in a cool, dark place)? Greg on "Weize Guy Wheat" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/weize-guy-wheat#post-592 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 00:35:04 +0000 Greg 592@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Okay, the recipe is finalised. Downloaded beer smith and actually I've been missing something, its great. So much functionality, really impressed.

Any back to topic, I have used Danstar Munich and Safbrew WB-06 (both dried Wheat beer yeasts) when I was using kits I always exchanged the kit yeast for a new one, and had good results from them! The only thing that put me off doing a AG Wheat as been the dreaded 'Stuck Mash' and now Im just starting looking at doing my first wheat as I feel I've got the mash and! If it was my first AG brew I would brew a simple One or Two grain beer with a couple of hop additions just to get used to your equipment and the way you do AG Beers! One tip is START EARLY! and its not as hard as it seems! Dan Greg on "Planned Wheat Beer" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/planned-wheat-beer#post-576 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:56:43 +0000 Greg 576@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Hi Gazz, There isn't much difference between brewing a wheat beer and an ale. Apart from using a liquid yeast the rest is the same. You don't have to use a liquid yeast as there are some good dried wheat yeasts too. At least most wheat beers are brewed at 18c so you don't have to cold ferment like a lager which makes life easier. I've decided on the Wyeast 3068. I'm planning on making it up to two litre starter over the next few days. I'll stick up a seperate post on using a Wyeast so you can see what's involved. Its not that difficult but you need to plan things a few days in advance. Recipe is finalised so I will post it in a bit. Its up to you what to brew first, ale is probably a little simpler but if you really prefer wheat beer then go for it! How's the AG setup coming on? Post us and update, perhaps in a new thread. Gazz on "Planned Wheat Beer" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/planned-wheat-beer#post-575 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:42:31 +0000 Gazz 575@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Cool thread! Im thinking of doing a wheat beer for my first AG brew but am wondering if this is a step too far for my first attempt. The yeast starter seems a little daunting! I was in Holland last weekend and tasted a lovely weissbier or white beer as they called it. Should I stick to a simple ale or jump in at the deep end??!! dandan on "Planned Wheat Beer" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/planned-wheat-beer#post-574 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:50:45 +0000 dandan 574@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Cheers Greg! <img src="http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/bb-plugins/default/icon_smile.gif" title=":)" class="bb_smilies" /> Hope the brewday goes well! I think my plan is going to be 50% Pale with 50% Wheat, Crushed Coriander and Lemon Peel, not sure on the which hops yet but won't be brewing it for another month or so, giving me plenty of time to think! Maybe I will get some ideas from the beer judging tomorrow! simonp on "Planned Wheat Beer" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/planned-wheat-beer#post-573 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 18:40:11 +0000 simonp 573@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ I didn't use any late hop addition in either of my wheat beers, as I read that generally hop aroma is not in the style, but could be nice I guess. I must admit that I like the German & Belgian style wheat beers, the american ones are a bit bland for my taste, hence the yeast being critical to give the required phenolics and clove flavours. Hope yours carbonates better than mine! Still waiting to try the bottles I added extra sugar to. Greg on "Planned Wheat Beer" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/planned-wheat-beer#post-570 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:51:36 +0000 Greg 570@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Hi Dan, go for it. Wheat beers are really popular in America at the moment and they use standard ale yeasts and american style hops. That's the best thing about home brewing for me, playing around with the different recipes and learning what tastes good. Inevitably you'll get a beer that's not as good as others but you learn from it and start to hone recipes of your own which taste amazing. Maybe even come up with a new style of beer. I just wish I had more time to brew every weekend as I have more idea's than I can brew at the moment so have to compromise and make some beer I know I'll love to keep supplies up. I'll keep you posted regarding this weekends brew. Might even send you a bottle if it turns out well! dandan on "Planned Wheat Beer" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/planned-wheat-beer#post-567 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:42:40 +0000 dandan 567@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ I'm definitely doing a Wheat beer as the first brew after my opperation, Wheat beers have got to be my favorite beer style, in fact im drinking a Franziskaner Weissbier as I type! I want to do a wheat beer with a difference though, maybe a lemon twist (Like a Hebden Wheat by the Little Valley Brewery) or put some american hops in to give a slight punch? I know adding extra hops/lemon doesn't fit into the correct beer styles but it will still be a wheat but even more tasty!! Greg on "Planned Wheat Beer" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/planned-wheat-beer#post-566 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:18:01 +0000 Greg 566@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Thanks Dan. I did think about using the tettnang but I had some hersbrucker and saaz left over from a lager in the summer so thinking of using them up. I did think about going for a wit beer but thought I would try a straight wheat beer for a change. I may increase the brew length though as I will be gutted if it turns out well and I've only got 10 litres. I'll stick it on the software later then post up final recipe. Just need to decide on a yeast now...I think I'm heading for a wyeast 3068 which I'm going to get started tomorrow ready for pitching on Sunday. dandan on "Planned Wheat Beer" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/planned-wheat-beer#post-565 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 22:28:45 +0000 dandan 565@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ Recipe looks good!

Saying that I don't have any rice hulls so I guess I'll have to see how it goes. I'm wondering whether it would be better to layer the mash the the barley was at the bottom and the wheat at the top instead of mixing together. The amount of wheat fits the profile for a wheat beer so I can't see too many problems with starch conversion. I think it will need to be mashed slightly higher temp, around 67c though. Well I'll have to see how it turns out I guess, might hunt around a bit for some more info on the mashing of that much wheat though. Varnish on "Planned Wheat Beer" http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/planned-wheat-beer#post-563 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 21:02:13 +0000 Varnish 563@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ I've not had much experience of wheat beers. I've had a Hogarden or two, but never knew they were wheat beers until I got into this homebrewing thing. So I can't comment on the recipe. The thing I did have a look at though, as I had no idea, is whether or not wheat malt has enough enzyme content to self convert starch into sugar. All sources I found said it'll be fine. Unless its roasted etc. Munich malt apparently will convert itself quite happily too. I also saw this thing about rice hulls which I didn't know and might interest you: <a href="http://www.brewtree.com/page/page/918705.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.brewtree.com/page/page/918705.htm</a> But as you're using nearly 50% barley I'm not sure if it would be necessary to use them. Belt and braces I suppose.

Planning a 10 litre batch so I'm not stuck with loads if it doesn't turn out that nice. Thinking 55 % Wheat Malt 45 % Munich Malt Probably aim for around 1050 for starting gravity Hallertauer Hersbrucker hops Saaz hops Look to around 20 IBU with possibly only copper hop addition, may steep some at 80c for a bit of aroma. Then use wyeast 3056/3068/3942/3787 or 3944 Anyone have any thoughts/comments on this? I will post proper recipe when its been finalised. I may also add some raspberries to half the batch during secondary fermentation
