MitchBastard Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 First schooey of the latest German Pilly. I might just label this as the best beer I’ve ever made. Took a while to get this recipe dialled in but she’s trimmed and polished to where it needs to be. It’s just good. Let’s hope the keg lasts long enough to be able to submit a bottle to the Gold Coast Brewing Championship. IMG_4122.MP4 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon that you are right Graubart. I think both @kmar92 and @Tone boy were brewing or thinking of brewing wheat beers. Might have to start another Style: Australian Wheat Beers. What would we call them? I think that my Hoegaarden clone also qualifies. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weizenbier or Hefeweizen, in the southern parts of Bavaria usually called Weißbier (literally "white beer", but the name probably derives from Weizenbier, "wheat beer"), is a beer, traditionally from Bavaria, in which a significant proportion of malted barley is replaced with malted wheat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks great @MitchBastardThat would be a disaster if you knocked too much off before the Comp, just imagine, you would have to top up a few bottles with commercial swill to give the judges a drink. But I am sure you are smarter than that. Good Luck mate. Cheers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both @kmar92 and @Tone boy were brewing or thinking of brewing wheat beers. I haven’t had a crack at one yet, but have definitely turned my mind to it. I’m thinking towards spring time I’ll take the plunge so I’ll have a new experience for the taste buds once the weather starts warming up. From what I’ve seen on here, the lallemand Munich might be worth a shot, and some liquid wheat malt. Undecided on whether to add orange zest or coriander seeds, or maybe that’s more a Belgian style than a Hefeweizen... Anyway the seed has been planted 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes @Tone boy Toner I believe the Coriander and Orange additions are more of a Belgique... more of a Witbier I guess... @kmar92 KMar's HW brew looked pretty nice and was a KnK w Tom Coops Preacher's HW and a tin of the Coops Liq Malt plus a few more bits and pieces... Reckon that would be a good place to start ; ) On 5/21/2021 at 2:58 PM, kmar92 said: Yes @Graubart Burbler, it was a TC Preacher's Hefe Wheat + 1 tin of wheat malt extract + 500gms rice malt syrup and a dash of LDM. It is a beautiful drop... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commercial Sample - Bavarian HW - Bavaria being the home of good HW: Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen and Franziskaner Hefeweizen Any others @Aussiekraut AK? I would conscientiously avoid the Schöfferhofer Hefeweizen as it just does not taste like Bavarian Hefeweizen... If you like HW from Frankfurt well help yourself.

You are building a nice gallery of wheat beers Graubster, it would be interesting if they would all be placed in a competition & judged but we are all pretty spread out I guess.

Classic Brewing Co Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I am trying to use up some earlier brews, this one Wal's Lager-Country Brewer, that have been around for a while, drinkable ( more like pub swill ) but not even on the same page with the beers made in the last 6 months or so. Obviously the addition of some form of Malt Extract has taken my beers to greater heights, some of the photos I have posted lately have shown quite 'heady' beers with a bit more pizzazz & of course more body. I have a way to go before I can compete with some of the Wheat Beers & others that some of our 'gun' brewers have posted, they are truly remarkable. It beats me why LHBS people, mainly employees don't or haven't suggested the use of the Wheat/LME available as they all seem to stock them along with their AG products. Most of my visits to the LBHS get shorter now because when the owner is there it is a chance to stock up on the right sort of goodies & get the right advice to make better beer. I almost feel like apologising for posting these sub-par images but my point was what a difference LME additions make to your brew.

Let’s not forget Erdinger, Schneider and of course the very yummy but very regional and virtually impossible to get in Australia: Unertl. I agree with the Schöfferhofer, it isn’t a particularly good wheat beer. It’s better than nothing I suppose but if I have the choice, it’s right at the bottom of my list. Maisel’s is a fairly common brand but again, it comes from Franconia if I am not very much mistaken and as a real Bavarian, anything not upper or at least lower Bavaria isn’t really Bavaria I also don’t mind a Paulaner or Hacker Pschorr but you likely won’t find these on our shores either.

Pale Man Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 ROTM Triple Choc Stout first glass from the keg. Probably the nicest extract beer I've ever made. I've turned to AG but highly recommend this. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never agreed back then and it wouldna happened except you had some dodgy French Mate!?! 1803 Most of modern-day Franconia became part of Bavaria in 1803 thanks to Bavaria's alliance with Napoleon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey there GB. Yep just knocked off work. Couldn't help myself but have a crack. Just over a week in the keg. Kudos to Coopers on putting this one recipe together. It's tasty. I modified it slightly by adding 300 grams of oats. I'd think about swapping the liquid malt for liquid wheat and I think we have a stomper. Might go and pour another. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
