Notes: Decided to use Coopers Wheat beer kit + Wheat DME, and add a little Hallertauer (classic Bavarian weissbier hops) both for aroma and bitter (10 and 60 min). Since the kit already has some hops, I'll just use a tiny bit (10-20g in ~10-15 liters wort =~3 AAU) to be on the safe side, yet be able to try boiling and adding hops. No dry hopping.
Make sure to do a clean racking to bottling bucket, so there's only some yeast in the bottle, like a real hefeweizen.
Made with 500g LDME and 300g Dextrose, (like package suggests) 150g malted wheat steeped for 20min, and 10g Saaz dry in the fermentor from day 4 til day 10. Used the kit yeast at 19-21'C. Turned out quite well after 3 weeks with a very pale body and a nicely white, fluffy head. The body isn't overly light, and the taste is delicate and well balanced with a nice impart from the Saaz. Perfect for hot summer days. Only other comment is that it would benefit from a proper wheat yeast such as WB-06. I'd give this a no-joking 5-star rating.
Another user used wyeast 3068 (for real German tasting weissen, not American hefeweize)
From: http://www.ratebeerkits.com/items/view/coopers-wheat-beer
Coopers site suggests using kit + 1 kg of Coopers Wheat malt and WB-06 / Munich yeast; to make 'Hefeweizen'.

For those interested: poster Les posted this from another board from Down Under. It's close enough that I'm going to give this a whirl:
(6 gal batch)
~2kg Wheat Dry Extract (62.5%)
~1.1 Light Dry Extract (37.5%)
12 grams Tettnang (90') 6.4 IBU
9 g Pearle (90') 8.6 IBU
7 g Tettnang (45') 3.4 IBU
7 g Tettnang (15') 1.0 IBU
1 pkg Weihenstephan Wyeast #3068)
Beer Profile Estimated Original Gravity: 1.051 SG (1.044-1.052 SG)
Estimated Final Gravity: 1.010 SG (1.010-1.014 SG)
Estimated Color: 13.6 EBC (3.9-15.8 EBC)
Bitterness: 19.3 IBU (8.0-15.0 IBU)
Estimated Alcohol by Volume: 5.3 % (4.3-5.6 %) Actual Alcohol by Volume: 5.3 %
Actual Calories: 475 cal/l
Start with ~2-1/2 gallons of water in the pot and bring to the boil. Remove from heat and add 2.2# of the DME (wheat or barley, shouldn't make a difference), and dissolve. Return to the heat to boil (watch for boilovers!) Add the remaining DME (off the heat) in the last 5 or 10 minutes of the boil.
The advantage of the DME limited quantity boil, is that you can cool in a laundry sink or bathtub of cold water.
Ferment with 30% headspace at or below 68 deg F; bottle as soon as fermentation is complete |

Notes: Used as guide: Old Rasputin Clone recipe found at https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/north-coast-old-rasputin-clone/
(10-6-2017) Activate smack-pack yeast ~3hr. Add yeast to cooled starter culture media (~iL water + 0.25 lb brown sugar + 0.25 DME; boiled and simmered 30min) in sterile 4L flask. Had ~7hr growth with occasional swirling before addition to cooled wort.
Steep grains at 66C for 30min, sparge with 77C water. Add Briess Golden Light DME (10.25 LB), bring to boil, add hops and gypsum at appropriate times. Cool wort, add to primary with remaining water, aerate, add yeast, and check with refractometer. Use one beer.net to convert Brix to OG.
Brix=17.5
OG=1.073 (lower than expected) =volume is may be closer to 6 gal than 5.5. Also not as black as I was shooting for. Next time don't steep in grain bag.
(10-11-17) Transfer to secondary. Brix = 11.8
(11-6-17) Brix =11.8 still. FG @ 1.031. ABV 5.5%. Fermentation stalled or original Brix not accurate due to insufficient mixing wort and remaining water. If OG was 1.087 (Brix of 20.6), then FG=1.023 and 8.4% ABV.
Bottled with ~1/2c corn sugar. Not enough room in carboy to fit all sugar solution I had planned (3/4c).
(1/14/18) ~9 weeks after bottling, it is now nicely carbonated with tan head. |
