The art of Wheat Beer brewing made easy The German Wheat 8L Kit introduces you to the specificities of wheat beers (Wheat malt). You will perform all the brewer's steps: mashing, lautering, and boiling, to achieve a straw-colored beer with a generous head.

Beer Profile:

• Style: Weissbier (German Wheat Beer).

• Volume: 8 Liters (approx. 24 x 33cl bottles).

• Alcohol: approx. 5.2% ABV.

• Content: 12L fermentation bucket (tap and airlock), thermometer, bottle brush, Oxybrew cleaner, 24 caps, malt mix (wheat and barley), hops, and specific yeast.

What you will need to provide:

To brew this kit, you will need an 8-10L pot, a large kitchen strainer, and your empty bottles (not included).

Ingredient Storage:

Malt and hops are fresh products. To ensure optimal brewing quality, store your malt mix in a dry place away from light, and your hops preferably in the refrigerator if you do not brew immediately upon receipt.

Expert Tips:

Fermentation Temperature: This is the secret of German Weissbier! Fermenting around 20°C (68°F) will favor banana notes. If you stay lower (18°C / 64°F), clove notes will be more prominent.

The Pour: Do not pour the whole bottle at once. Leave a little at the bottom, swirl it to get the yeast back in suspension, and pour the rest to get that sought-after "Hefe" haze.

Flash FAQ:

• Is it a very bitter beer? No, Weissbier is focused on malt and yeast; the bitterness is very subtle.

• Can I reuse the bucket? Yes, all equipment is durable. Simply purchase a "German Wheat 8L Ingredients Refill" to brew again.
