E.s.b. Bavarian Wheat 3kg Kit

I had a similarly disappointing experience with K-97 last year in a smoked brown ale. It formed a big head of yeast on top, and then just sat there twiddling its thumbs. After it only dropped the SG by 8 points in 4 days I got cranky and threw in a sachet of US-56 which promptly fermented the beer out.

The beer came out fine in the end, but I'm a tad suspicious of K-97.

The other time I used it, in a wheat beer, it worked fine.

Dont u guys have hydrometres?

 

[Steve]

a what?
gave up using that years ago - wastes to much beer in the sample tube

No.

But I do use a refractometer.

Wastes far less wort/beer, and very convenient for checking during the sparge and the boil
