Beer Style: Weizen/Weissbier  (15A)
Recipe Type: extract
Yield: 5 US gallons

Weizen/Weissbier

Description:

I primed half the batch (5 gal) with 1/3 cup corn sugar and the other half with 1/2 cup clover honey. After two weeks, the beer was great. The beer primed with honey, however, was way too carbonated. All you can taste is bubbles. In direct taste tests, this beer has more body than WheatHook, and is slightly sweeter. Compared to EKU, the beer is similar, but EKU Wiezen is slightly sweeter.

Ingredients:

  • 3 pounds, dried wheat extract
  • 2 pounds, Wheat malt
  • 1 pound, Barley malt
  • 1 pound, dried malt extract
  • 2--1/2 ounces, Mt. Hood hops
  • Wyeast Wheat beer yeast

Additional Instructions

Boil: 60 Minutes
