coopers wheatbeer

kerinsp

Hi,
I made this coopers wheatbeer. I left it for a week fermenting but by the time I got the capper another week went by. When I bottled the beer it was clear. Should it be cloudy because its a wheatbeer?

Also I used 2 carbonation drops per bottle (used, glass 500ml brown bottles (sterilised)). After 2 days there is no bubbles in the bottles. When I tip a bottle around you can see the carbonation drop move around like syrup in the liquid. Will this clear off to lots of C02 bubbles in a week or two?

Thanks
Paul

It would be pretty hard to tell how clear your beer is through a brown bottle. It would be very surprising if it was clear when you poured it out.

As for bubbles in the bottles you wont see that until you pour one out but if there is a carbonation drop in there being fermented then there has to be CO2, fact.

Doesn't sound like there is anything wrong so far from what you describe. just give it a few weeks n see

Thanks. I'll just have to be patient and let the carbonation drops work for a week or two.

I hope it tastes good!

My first brew was coopers wheat beer

Turned out a little cloudy but not "foggy" like some other wheat beers I've tried.

i made it too you'll have to roll it around to stir up the yeasties..its actually a clean enough beer after time its so clear and crisp it could pass for lager,..

ps wheat beers are to be drank young. Coopers say you can ferment it in a week and drink it after 2 .... I made it and it didnt get any better with time ( not that it was bad to begin with)
