Second AG Wheat beer

[mereside]

Hi guys just an update i got ill over xmas so had to put off my plans of a few brews over that period, today though I was fighting fit and decided on a wheat beer.
full BIAB no sparge 90 min mash @20min 48 deg, 40min 66 deg, 30min 75.5 deg.
wheat malt 1572 grams
German pilsner 1572 grams
Tetnang hops 24 grams @ 70 min
total volume 25.31 Ltr
well I set off on my mash all good for the first mash but i made a rookie error I left the temp gauge in the holder then i noticed the front cover had melted from the heat overspill up the side of the pan, what a numpty.
anyway sent the wife out for another thermometer as my battery died on my digi one lol.
everything else went according to plan I am in the home straight now just chucked in the hops so sat waiting for it to do its magic :thumb:.
looking forward to seeing this one turn out
ps my temps at the end of each mash stage,
20 mins@ 47.5 deg
40 mins@ 64 deg
30mins @ 74.1 deg
mangrove jack m20 yeast

I think its all gone pete tong lol, no activity at all on this so can't think what I have done wrong, will give it a while longer then maybe try and pitch some more yeast, any thoughts from anyone, that will teach me to run before I can walk, atb wayne

what temp did you pitch the yeast and did you hydrate first?

 

[mereside]

I pitched at 16 deg no hydration can I do anything to rectify my issue, ps thanks for your help

Mangrove Jacks site says temp range 18-30 for M20 so maybe increase the temp a few degrees?

 

[mereside]

I have just put radiator back on in the room should go up to 18-20 will see how that goes thanks, wayne

its only just over 24 hrs and if it was 16 the poor little yeast cells are needing some warmth to get going well.

I think i am panicking looks like things are happening now lol, I can't believe how much this gets to me, I never had this much concern over building a race engine :smile:

it smells divine, just cant wait to try this although I did make a slight booboo with my grain measurement, the recipe calculator I was using I spent ages messing with different quantity and when i saved it I never put it back to how it should have been 1696grams of wheat then 1696grams of pilsner. I will do it again this weekend so i can compare I have also got some whitelabs liquid yeast to try out too.
