A good beer for a brewer wanting to experiment with wheat ingredients. Please call ahead 72 hours to request a Hefeweissen yeast starter. $175.00
This beer is named after the special wheat yeast we used to make it. This yeast creates a wheat in which Banana and Clove aroma and flavor are present. This is the recipe if you are looking for the most "traditional" German Wheat. Highly recommended by Jo-Ellen. Please call ahead 72 hours to request a Hefeweissen yeast starter. $170.00
*Please note: Advance notice (72 hours) required for yeast preparation
**Please note that effective May 15, 2002, all Wheat, Belgian, many heavier stouts and porters and any beer using Fruit Puree will be bottle conditioned only. Bottle conditioning requires a secondary fermentation in the bottle (stored at room temperature) for 2 weeks. So be aware that the time needed for the beer to be drinkable is one month from brew day (bottling date is uneffected).
