Hi guys,
So I recently returned to home brewing after a ten year hiatus. My second batch is a Brewers Best Weizenbier. Everything seemed to go fairly well until after I pitched my yeast I found out one of my thermometers was not accurate. So in the end I pitched my yeast around 82F, a little higher than the desired temperature. OG was 1.050. Fermentation starting humming along nicely within 7 hours and went strong for about 3-4 days when some slowing was noticeable. I racked to secondary on day 5 and took a reading. My SG on day 5 was already 1.012 and the target for this kit is 1.011-1.015. I've never had a batch reach it's target that fast.
Is this normal? OK? Should I be worried?
Thanks all!
Steve
