Kansas City Wheat Beer: Brew Day – February 9, 2006
Overview: Boiling Wort. Primary Fermentation.
Notes: Kit purchased from Homebrew shop.
To make for easier pouring, I warmed up the extract under some hot water. As an improvement, warm the extract in a small saucepan over your range in about 2 inches of water. Dont forget to put a washcloth under the extract or the plastic will melt.
The wort was strained into a 6.5 plastic primary fermentation container. A sanitized air lock was put in place. Visible fermentation appeared within 12 hours. A period of very rapid fermentation proceeded for the following 24 hours.
This is a look at the wort after aeration. This was my first attempt and my aeration was a bit weak. I normally see several inches of frothy floam on top after aeration.
