exploding kit

[cutnrun]

Ok so i started a coopers wheat beer kit a week ago. no bubblin or change in SG.

I did airate it when i made the kit, i added the yeast and stirred, no fermentation.

to start it i gave it a careful stir to get some of the yeast back into action, 2 days still no movement! So i decided to add some more SO4 yeast to see if i got a dud batch....

woof major amounts of foam and overflowing!

what is going on? should i give up and try another kit. I am about to do my first AG so i wont be too upset if have to dump it but I do like a wheat beer!

Sounds like it's fermenting, so you'll have beer :thumb:
- but it sounds like the S04 took over, so you probably won't have the yeast characteristics of the wheat beer.
I'd ferment it out and see what happens, should still be ok, just maybe not the tastes intended.

sorry should have made it clearer... the exploding over flow happened imediatly!
