I am brewing a dunkelweiss for the first time using the fast ferment method. Everything looks pretty good but seemed fast. Started fermentation at 62, and at 2 days was ready to start raising, but fermentation had already peaked and was starting to subside. Tested gravity at 4 days and things were pretty good and had hit final gravity. At 7 days, it is a acetaldehide bomb. Ouch!
I need a batch ready in a month and a half. Is it worth keeping it at 68/70 for a couple weeks and hope the yeast finish up? Or is it time to dump it?
Here's the recipe etc....
3.5 gallon batch
5 lbs canadian pale wheat
2.5 lbs munich light
7oz caramunich
2oz carafa II
90 minute boil, 60 minute .75oz Hallertau addition
WLP300 w/ a 2 liter starter
1.5 min oxygen
