Hefeweizen
The German Weissbier (wheat beer) is an excellent style for home brewers to emulate because many commercial versions are presented with yeast in suspension, “mit hefe”, the same as naturally conditioned beer made at home! This recipe is about as simple as it gets and suitable for those looking to make a Weissbier in accordance with German law - wheat content should be at least 50% of the total grist. The suggested yeast tends to throw classic wheat beer characteristics such as phenolic, clove and banana - for many, an acquired taste. To soften these characters, ferment at the lower end of the temperature range or use the yeast supplied with the kit.
