Bavarian Hefeweizen All Grain Beer Recipe Kit

Perfect balance of flavor!

Good Hefeweizen. I bottled 6 bottles between 1st and 2nd fermentation to taste the difference, and then did 3 gallons plain, and 2 gallons with two popped cardamom pods in it for the second fermentation. I think the cardamom version is the best. Haven’t tried the primary fermentation ones quite yet. My European boyfriend is less pleased with the results, but thinks they’ll get better on the bottle. Overall, I’m happy!

Very light and almost clear,was not able to measure final og or alcohol %,tastes great.First time making it.

Combine this recipe with Wyeast 3068 and you have a German classic.

Just got into all grain brewing. Every Hefe I have brewed has been solid. I may have to start doubling the batches as my wife drinks them all. Great sweet flavor. I don't do a secondary with this beer to maintain that cloudy look. I will continue to buy this beer.

This was a great beer, so much so I turned around and bought another. Crystal clear finish. Great Hefe flavors.

Shipping was fast. Everything arrived packed well, as described.

First time I made it, great flavors. Will brew again.

Fermented very well. Very refreshing.

Fast shipping, quality ingredients. Easy to brew at home beer. Great for summertime. Will be a recurring brew in this house.

Gad an idea to use a Hefeweizen as a vase for a pumpkin bear. Used about 1 lb of roaster pumpkin and sone pie spice. Exceeded all expectations. Beer was clean with just the right gaze. Excellent kit, made for a great brew.

The grain seemed very fresh and was nicely milled as per usual with Northern Brewer, no complaints at all. Nice traditional hefe grain bill and hops. I did a bog standard brew in a bag process using the temps in the instructions and pitched a tube of White Labs WLP300. Fermented in the ~70F basement for two weeks, bottle conditioned for a week, and stuck it in the fridge. A few notes:

-Didn't know this going in but it seems common across hefeweizen yeast strains.. STRONG sulfur smell during first 4 days of fermentation. Straight up egg factory stank. Went away and wasn't present in the final beer thankfully. If you're using a hefe yeast just be prepared for that. It's worth it for the spicy banana esters though!

-Extremely cloudy. I'd throw in a whirlfloc tablet if I brewed it again. Wheat base beers are always going to be cloudy but this was straight up opaque. Might even double up with a protein rest.

-When you drink it, swirl the yeast up with the last bit in your bottle and pour it into your glass. You want that flavor in this brew - just try it. Happy brewing!

I had an issue with an order a while back (it turned out be a problem with the shipping service by the way), but I contacted Northern brewers and explained the issue and they bent over backwards and made it right for me,, later finding out it wasn't their problem to fix, but when they say '' You can count on us for expert advice, troubleshooting, recommendations, and straight talk. This is what makes our customer service the best in the industry" it's a true statement ,,, Thank You For all Your company doe's.

Had other beers going prior to this. It is currently in the primary about to transfer the secondary

I have brewed as an all-grain and an extract. Either makes a good hefeweizen. The only issue I have with it this time is it came with hersbrucker 2.2% AA hops which did not give enough bitterness leaving it sweet even though it had a fg 1.006.
My recommendation is use Munich Classic yeast not wb06. With it you can ferment 64f for clove, 67 clove/banana balance or 71 to bring the banana flavors. Oh and make sure to have a blow off tube because it ferments hard and even 5gal in a 6.5gal big mouth bubbler it needed the blow off tube.

I'm new to all grain so the abv wasn't as expected, but it tastes great.

Made a lemon shandy with the hefeweizen and it turned out great. Perfect for floating in the pool and getting a tan.

Tastes delicious

I made both batches for a wedding rehearsal and reception. Both kegs floated, and it received numerous compliments! Easy and delicious.

Came out awesome! Used the Omega yeast, great banana and clove flavors!

it taste grate was easy to brew

My beer was a total hit with my wife and I, and a few of our neighbors said it was every bit as good or better than Weihenstephaner Vitus. I am super pleased with the grain bill and yeast I got from NB. Keep up the good work...

Made this with the Safbrew WB-06 yeast and added 4 oz of mango extract at kegging, it's delicious!

This was a real crowd pleaser. I will definitely do it again. No need to wait for October!

and I mean great (instead of grate)

This was my first beer i brewed, easy to follow instructions. I would just add if bottling to give it some extra time as flavors changed from 2 weeks in bottles / 3 / and 4th week. I wont be able to report on 5+ because this will have been all consumed

Got number right abv%5.5. But has water down taste. Feel like im hydrating more than drinking with this. Used brewers edge mash boil. Followed traditional recipe with temps, did 90 min boil i dont have chiller. Put in the fermentation bucket 170 f. Placed cool water bath for 16 hours. Drop yeast dry. Kegged forced carbonate day 14. No off flavors just watered down taste

Still have a few weeks left on this products value. So far, so good

Very simple brew. Hit my numbers but turned out a bit lighter than expected. Still a great summertime light and fresh drinker. Will brew again next year.
