German Hefeweizen All Grain Beer Kit

German Hefeweizen is a traditional pale Bavarian weizen or wheat beer with soft, bready, and slightly-sweet malt character. Our German Hefeweizen all grain beer kit is crafted from the highest quality malted grain, adjunct and Germany’s finest noble hop variety for subtle balance. We recommended the liquid yeast options for this recipe in order to replicate the distinctive clove and banana flavours, however, the dry option will still produce some nice subtle character. A great brew for all grain brewers who enjoy German wheat beers.

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