Hi all, I made a batch of weissbeer on thursday evening with the following: 1.5kg LME 1.5kg Wheat malt extract Maribrew weiss yeast 60g of hops in two stages, 30 and 60. It started bubbling in the airlock within 12 hours. I don't have a hydrometer as one of the kids dropped it down the stairs! How long should I let it in…

Hi all,

I made a batch of weissbeer on thursday evening with the following:

1.5kg LME
1.5kg Wheat malt extract
Maribrew weiss yeast
60g of hops in two stages, 30 and 60.

It started bubbling in the airlock within 12 hours. I don't have a hydrometer as one of the kids dropped it down the stairs!

How long should I let it in the primary fermenter before I prime and bottle?

Thanks,

Ken

I'd expect about two weeks, which will give you time to get a new hydrometer. Don't bottle it until you're sure the gravity has stopped dropping.
