I have on the go, a Belgian Wit beer (1.7 kg Black Rock Whispering Wheat kit + 1.5 kg Morgans Pale ME + 10 g each of navel orange peel and crushed coriander) and 11 days into fermentation the SG is 1.022.. I used the Wyeast Belgian Wit 3944 pitched at 21 degrees C. The batch size was 23 litres - good strong fermentation started within 6-10 hrs --> great foaming krauesen -- the lid had to be removed at least 3 times within the 1st 36 hrs to clean up mess -- I dropped the temp to 18 degree C after 24 hrs and it has been there steady for the rest of fermentation.
The OG was somewhere above 1.046 ( cheap hydrometer from woolies). Have bought new one since.
The beer is getting clearer and I check it every 48 hrs and today it tastes good too.
Help in this regard would be good !!!
Bit worried when I go to bottle this one :icon_drool2:
