It didnt start till Monday morning (or Sunday night while I was asleep) and has now stopped (tuesday morning).</p> <p>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.</p> <p>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....</p> <p>I did give it a stir today (probably a bad idea!) and the fermentation appears to have started a little again.</p> <p>Any advice would be much appreciated!</p> <p>Ewen </p> 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/ <p>Okay, the recipe is finalised. Downloaded beer smith and actually I&#39;ve been missing something, its great. So much functionality, really impressed.</p> <p>Going for a simple Weisen/weissbier</p> <p>Batch Size: 23.00 L<br /> Estimated OG: 1.050 SG<br /> Estimated Color: 3.5 EBC<br /> Estimated IBU: 15.3 IBU<br /> Boil Time: 90 Minutes</p> <p>Ingredients:<br /> ------------<br /> Amount Item<br /> 2650g Wheat malt<br /> 2200g Pilsner Malt</p> <p>40.00g Hallertauer Hersbrucker [3.00 %] (90 min Boil)<br /> 20.00 Saaz [2.20 %] (90 min Boil)</p> <p>Wyeast 3068 Weihenstephan Weizen - 2 litre starter.</p> <p>Planning single fermentation then bottling after a week or so. </p> http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/topic/planned-wheat-beer#post-561 Wed, 04 Nov 2009 14:12:25 +0000 Greg 561@http://www.brewuk.co.uk/forum/ <p>Thought I would try a wheat this time for a change. Planning a 10 litre batch so I&#39;m not stuck with loads if it doesn&#39;t turn out that nice.</p> <p>Thinking</p> <p>55 % Wheat Malt<br /> 45 % Munich Malt</p> <p>Probably aim for around 1050 for starting gravity</p> <p>Hallertauer Hersbrucker hops<br /> Saaz hops</p> <p>Look to around 20 IBU with possibly only copper hop addition, may steep some at 80c for a bit of aroma.</p> <p>Then use wyeast 3056/3068/3942/3787 or 3944</p> <p>Anyone have any thoughts/comments on this?</p> <p>I will post proper recipe when its been finalised. I may also add some raspberries to half the batch during secondary fermentation </p>
