OK, so first up, I assume you're asking about the specific gravity and wondering if it's finished fermenting.

Wheat beer isn't really any different to any other beer in that respect.

What do you mean by "30"? Do you mean a hydrometer is reading 1.030?

If this is the case, then no, your beer is not finished fermenting. The final gravity of your nondescript wheat beer should probably be somewhere in the 1.006 - 1.018 range (yes that's a broad range but it depends on many factors which I don't want to speculate on).

A little more detail might get you a little clearer answer.

Happy brewing.

Lots of reading there and will answer all your questions. People on here are very happy to help all brewers but these are questions that have been done ad nauseum so have a play with the search engine first.

Also learn to take a zero reading in tap water to see if ALL readings require adjustment.

I decided to go with a refractometer, but that requires more learning, about how to zero and how to adjust readings to account for alcohol during fermentation. I use Beersmith to work it out.
