8. Hefe Weize

Posted in Homebrew by erwin on June 6th, 2004No Comments

Based on “Min første Hefe-weizen” from Brygladen.

4 kg. liquid Weyermann Hefe-weizen extract
30 gram Hallertau Hersbrücker hops
Wyeast 3068 Weihenstephaner
Started the yeast on Thursday (June 3rd). Found out that the packet had ruptured on Saturday morning, so started a new starter on a bit of extract in 1 liter of boiled water with a handful of hops.

Sunday June 6th
Bring 15 liters of water to boil and add the extract. Add the hops when the water boils and leave boiling for 1 hour. Cool to below 30°C and add the yeast. Pour into fermenter.

Temperature: 27°C
