Try 1 x Coopers Brew Master Wheat Beer Can & 1x Coopers Wheat Malt Can for 23lt Brew. you could also try adding 10 to 15g Herberker or Hallertau at flame out

Try first without Hop addition then next time try with either way I have always been happy when I used to do K+K.

G'day fellas,
Sorry to have missed your previous request, DKS.
I have a great and simple recipe for an extract wheat beer, in the Bavarian style.

1 kg (Muntons or other) DME
1.5 kg Wheat DME (Muntons or other)
25g of 4% alpha Saaz pellets.

Boil 6 or 7 litres of water and add the DME and the hops.
Boil for 60 min, adding the remaining Wheat DME (off the heat) in the last 10 minutes.

You can optionally add Irish Moss (or Whirfloc) in the last 10 minutes as well.

Add a lid and place the kettle/ boiler in a sink of cold water. Change the water every 10 minutes. Should be cool enough by the end of 30 or 40 minutes.

Add to sanitised fermentor and top up to 22 litres with tap water. When cool enough, pitch W3068 culture (about 600ml - 1 litre).
O.G. - 1.042
F.G. - 1.007
Alc - 4.5%
Bitterness - 13.6 IBUs
Colour - about 10 EBC

The flavours are very close to the expected Weizen flavours, but some barley sugar flavour will be present (and pleasant) when young. Can be consumed as soon as carbonated.

Cheers
Les

The Brewers Selection Hefeweizen is great, and you can start drinking within the week as soon as the carbonation is done....

what does Cumin seed add to the beer?, I might have to try this. Always looking for new spices to add.

Best consumed within 1 month!? You're keen!
Factor in that they won't be fully carbed until 2 weeks and assuming its a standard 23 litre batch...that would require drinking 12.5L a week, almost 2L at day...good effort!

It adds a slightly hot spicey flavour and aroma, but only just noticable, I wouldn't use more than 2 grams because it can be quite overpowering

Most of the time i make this brew it is carbed up within 10-12 days. Usually make it to 21 litres, and I have no prob with downing 2 litres a day :chug: , so yes, I am keen, especially when it comes to this brew . After about a month the spice flavours tend to leave the party and you're left with a decent beer, not a great one

+ 1 for drinking the wheat beer within a month.

I've made 2 wheat beers, both were fantastic for the first few weeks then declined rapidly in several respects after that. They were still drinkable but nothing compared to how they had tasted earlier!

That is nasty, but very funny. Thanks for the previous recipies. Looking at doing my own sort off wheat beer but with steeping wheat and rolled oats.
