Bavarian wheat enhancer

[Kdn]

So it seems there is a nationwide shortage of bavarian wheat enhancer in nz, can get every type except this. I am now contemplating if I should try make my own, I know a simple enhancer is a mix of dme and dextrose but I assume a bavarian wheat has some other components?

I'll be using MJ craft series bavarian pouch and trying to get as close to hoegaarden taste and colour as possible. I've done one before using LME and it came out looking and tasting like a dark lager.

Use wheat DME along with whatever dextrose you want for added abv and malro-dextrin for body. Several good quality DMEs are available, most from a grist of 50% wheat, Briess from a grist of 65% wheat. Briess is costly at current exchange rates.
