Hi everyone!
I've just re-started my adventures in home brewing! After a pretty disastrous attempt at uni I was keen to give it another go. Iââ¬â¢ve only started with a basic wheat beer kit but hope to progress. At the moment itââ¬â¢s been fermenting for just over a week. Although the instructions only state 4-6 days for fermentation before you should bottle Iââ¬â¢m not so sure and Iââ¬â¢m thinking it needs a little longer. The colour still seems too pale and there is still some foam/bubbles on top of the beer. Iââ¬â¢ve just taken a hydrometer reading and itââ¬â¢s coming up 1.021 (original gravity before I pitched the yeast 1.051). What would you guys recommend, bottle it up now and leave it to condition as per the instructions or give it a little while longer and see what happens? Very new to this but keen to learn!
Thanks in advance!
