Hey guys,
I just did my first batch of beer. It was the Wizard Wheat kit from Homebrew Heaven with the dried yeast pouch. I brewed on the 10th and had an SG of 1.051 at 70*. After 8 hours the bubbling was really rapid. I transfered to my secondary on the 13th after the bubbling went down to once every 1.5 minutes (if that). The SG then was 1.013 at 66*. I went out of town for a few days and got back on the 17th to find I have a SG of 1.012 at 69*. I tasted it and it was pretty good so I bottled it up. Can this be normal? Did I rush the bottling? It just seems wierd that I see everyone going weeks to get it all done and mine might have been done in just this short time. Maybe I got lucky the first time out???
The beer is actually pretty clear and tastes good. I'm going to wait a week to test one of the bottles. I came up with a batch that was 6 bottles shy of 2 cases. I'm loving this stuff.
Thanks
Dave
