Currently in the primary. Fermentation is slower than I expected since this is a wheat, but may have something to do with my inexperience with smackpacks. My plan is to get this out of primary after 7days total, then onto secondary for 2weeks. Going to secondary because of the lemon zest, grains of paradise, and the slow fermentation so far. From what I've been reading, the best wheats are bottle-conditioned, however.
You did alright

Patience my friend. Your yeast will work well. Your recipe is similar to an American Hefeweizen I brewed recently with the Wyeast 1010. Your fermentation is going lively now I bet and it will be largely finished in a couple more days. I didn't use the grains of paradise and the lemon zest in the secondary. But my batch turned out fine, very fine. Of course with my Hefeweizen I used a pound of flaked wheat leaving some of it in the boil to give it a cloudy appearance. Be sure to save a sanitized Mason Jar partially full of the yeast from the primary when it's finished. You can store it for several weeks to a month in the refrigerator and repitch it in another batch. I also freeze yeast from my primary in a solution of water/ glycerin in culture vials for longer storage and I make wort agar slants in culture vials, inoculate it with the yeast and save that in the refrigerator for 6 months to a year. If you like American Wheat beers, it's a great yeast. And if you find a good yeast you can make yeast cultures of it to last you a long time. Good luck with your batch.
