Nightmaerz Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hi Guys I started brewing at the start of the year and must say I am having a ball! Just been ticking off the basic recipes Coopers has to offer but now was starting to get the urge to play just a little, was wondering if anyone has some easy German style Hefeweizen Extract Brewing Recipes they can share, something with maybe addition of hops or grain (if needed) as I think I've found my favorite beer! Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICzed Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hey mate, I made a blackberry hef last month and am currently waiting for it to carb up in the bottle. This was the recipe: 3.0 kg Bavarian Wheat liquid malt 500 g Light Munich (mashed) 10 g Bramling Cross @ 60 min 20 g Bramling Cross @ 10 min Mangrove Jacks Bavarian Wheat Yeast. 21 litre batch. Once the brew was finished I racked it onto 2 kg of frozen black berries for a week & a half but this isn't mandatory for the recipe. If I was going to make it again I would use Fermentis WB-06 yeast instead of the Mangrove Jacks. Here's another recipe from my LHBS which looks pretty good too: 2kg Liquid Wheat Malt Extract 1kg Liquid Light Malt Extract 250g Carapils (steep) 25g Tettnanger (4.8% AA) – 60min boil Fermentis WB-06 23 lt batch. I hope this helps. Cheers + beers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this helps. Cheers + beers' date=' Mark[/quote'] Hefe recipes are fairly simple, as you see, and the recipe Mark listed is pretty good. If I was brewing this, I would use 3kg liquid wheat malt and scrap the light malt. Most wheat malt extracts tend to be around 50/50 wheat and barley and is a good mix for a hefeweizen.

Nightmaerz Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Sorry to hassle you guys but with the 23L recipe how much water should i use with the ingredients during the boil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICzed Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 How big is your pot? I always follow PB2's rule of 5 litres of water to 500g malt extract. This includes wort you've made from steeping the grain too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
