German Hefeweizen Extract Beer Kit

German Hefeweizen is a traditional pale Bavarian weizen or wheat beer with soft, bready, and slightly-sweet malt character. Our German Hefeweizen extract beer kit is crafted from the highest quality extract and German’s finest noble hop variety. We recommended the liquid yeast options for this recipe to better replicate the distinctive clove and banana flavours, however, the dry option will still produce some nice subtle character. A fantastic recipe for beginner-level extract brewers who enjoy German-style wheat beers.

Please note: Yeast is now sold separately. Strain options linked above.
