Brewferm Tarwebier problem
Hey to you all been a long time since ive been on as not been brewing due to getting married and all that kind of horrible stuff.But thankfully im back in the mix of it again and have even been allowed some decent upgrades like a flash cooler and the likes but my problem is i have started back with a Brewferm Tarwebier and used a kilo in weight out of a 1.5 kilo tin of coopers wheatbeer LME instead of sugar and bottled water to make up to 15 ltrs.I got great fermenting action after about 12 hrs but died down very quick.I have left it a couple of days with nothing happening and today took a HR and it was at 1021 which is worrying me.It has been in FV for 5 days now and just seems to have stuck.Has anyone else had this problem or can anyone recommend what to do about it.Many thanks.

Re: Brewferm Tarwebier problem
GIve the stir 24 hours to work first, then try moving the FV to a warmer place like an airing cupboard. Are you using the kit yeast or a proper wheat yeast variety ? White beers need fermenting in the 22-24 degree range if using a proper wheat yeast to get the nice ester (banana) notes - too cold a ferment apparently leads to a tasteless brew

Yeah im using the yeast included in the kit.I will move it and get the temperature up on it and see if it helps.Thanks for the tip will let you know if it improves.

Re: Brewferm Tarwebier problem
Woohooo well i took the FV and put it in the bar and then had an idea to stick the wifes dribuddy in there on full as its a lot cheaper than running the heating.I also gave it a bit of a swirl to kick the yeast up again and low and behold once it hit about 20c it started bubbling straight away Im gonna leave it now till end of week before even thinking about doing anything else.Cheers for the help Pinto.
