Wheat Beer - Beer Recipe Kit

Original Gravity: 1.0537 Final Gravity: 1.0134 Alcohol by Volume: 5.271%

This is the traditional German wheat beer. The yeast will produce clovey-spicy flavors. This beer has few bittering hops. Hefeweizens will have suspended yeasts which make the beer cloudy and produce bread-like "full bodied" flavors.
