​Recipe for Hefeweizen

Preparation:

Mix

•  Mix Preacher’s Hefe Wheat and 1 kg of wheat extract (the remaining 500 g can be sealed and kept in the refrigerator for later use) with 2 liters of water in a sanitized fermenter.
• Top up with cold water to the 20-liter mark and stir vigorously.
• Check the temperature and top up with water to the 23-liter mark. The water temperature should be adjusted so that the wort reaches 22°C.
• Sprinkle in the dry yeast and cover with the lid.

Brew

• Aim to carry out fermentation at 18–24°C (a higher fermentation temperature will produce stronger aromas typical of wheat beer).
• Fermentation is finished when the hydrometer reads between 2–4 °Blg.

Bottle

• Fill the bottles so that 3 cm of headspace remains below the top of the bottle neck.
• Add 2 Coopers Carbonation Drops per bottle and secure the cap (use only one drop if you intend to store the beer for a long time).
• Store the bottles upright, out of direct sunlight, at 18°C or higher.

Enjoy

• After at least 2 weeks, check the level of carbonation by squeezing a PET bottle.

• Bottles kept out of the refrigerator should improve over time.
• When the beer is ready to drink, chill it upright.
• Pour into glasses, taking care to leave the sediment in the bottle.
• Expect an alcohol content of approx. 4%.
