I did a brew on Monday just gone (Jon finch hefe weiss) and scaled back on the water a fair bit so got an OG of 1.064 (recipe states 1.050) so I was hopeful of a decent end strength and brewers friend estimated around 7.3%
However after an eventful start (see attached pictures) the yeast seems to have totally crapped out on me at 1.020. I can’t see any bubbles through the fv (clear fermentasaurus fv so can see everything)
I know it’s very early but like I said there’s naff all activity and I cannot see the hydrometer dropping down 11 points to the stated 1.009 which the recipe says.
I mashed at the stated 66c too bang on so was happy about getting the right sugars for fermentation.
Has anyone any issues using this yeast?
Btw I also pitched 2 packs of this yeast.
