bavarian wheat beer

[not fit for purpose]

Hi there, have just bought some weihenstephan yeast to make a bavarian-style wheat beer, and was wondering if anyone has tried this, and what ingredients they would recommend.

sorry can't help you with the brew but I have a bottle of their hefe in the fridge which I'm about to crack open.. lovely stuff. :drink:

if you can clone their Hefe brew then you're definitely doing well I'd say :thumb:

Which strain have you got wlp351? I've just done a couple of weisse biers with wlp300, one is bottle conditioning (a Schnieder Weisse clone) CLICKY and the other is a basic wheat/lager/Munich (60/35/5%) to use as a base for a weisse kriek, which is still fermenting using the slury from the schnieder.

The Schnieder Weisse was tasting very good whe I bottled it on Thursday! The recipe is as follows
