Hi,
I put down my 1st partial on Saturday via the following ingredients and instructions:-
I wanted to do a Hefeweizen so I crushed 1kg of German pilsner malt & 1kg of German wheat malt.
I boiled 6litres of water to 67C and poured over my crushed malt grain in a 10 litre esky, closed the lid and let sit for 1 hour.
After 1 hour I strained the liquid into my SS pot and then put another 6 litres of hot tap water on my mash for another 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes I poured the liquid into my pot and put this onto boil with 300 grams LDM extract for 1 hour (after 50 minutes I added my Coopers Wheat Beer tin wort).
Once completed I poured the wort into my fermenter and filled with cold water to 23 litres. I let this sit overnight as the temperature was too high to pitch my yeast.
Sunday morning the temperature was down to 21C so I added the 12grams of Weizen - Wheat yeast.
I now have no bubbling through the airlock or any condensation inside the lid of my fermenter.
I don't believe this is normal - is there anything I can do to get this working?
Thanks in advance for any help.
