Bavarian Hefe Weizen Extract Kit

O.G: 1049 / Ready: 5 weeks

Extremely popular in its homeland of southern Germany, Weizenbier (wheat beer) is now being enjoyed all over the world. Medium-bodied, refreshing, and tolerant of high fermentation temperatures, weizen is a fantastic summer brew. Northern Brewer's Hefe-Weizen is 100% traditional—cloudy, tart, a bit sour, with a phenolic and banana-clove character imparted by the yeast. To serve authentically, "mit hefe" (with yeast), pour almost all the beer into a tall glass, swirl the bottle, and add the rest.
