American Wheat Beer All Grain Kit

American Wheat Beer All Grain Kit
O.G: 1040 / Ready: 6 weeks


A familiar style made popular by microbreweries all over the US. Like their German cousins, American wheat beers feature large proportions of malted wheat in the grain bill and are naturally cloudy in appearance. Unlike German Weizenbiers, though, American wheat beers have a bit more hop character and are fermented with a milder-tasting yeast, resulting in a more clean, neutral finish. Wyeast's US Hefeweizen strain makes for a spritzy, refreshing warm-weather crowd-pleaser.
