Hexenweizen Brau Beer Kit - Extract is a premium hefeweizen beer kit that captures the essence of Bavarian wheat beer with a refreshing modern twist. Designed for homebrewers seeking high-quality ingredients and authentic flavors, this kit produces a hazy, golden brew with the signature banana and clove aromas characteristic of traditional hefeweizens.
Crafted with a balanced blend of wheat dry malt extract (DME) and light dry malt extract (DME), Hexenweizen Brau delivers a smooth malt backbone with a touch of natural sweetness. The addition of Munich malt (10 °L) deepens the malt complexity, lending subtle toasty undertones that enhance the classic wheat beer profile.
For hop character, Hallertauer Blanc hops (60 min) provide a delicate floral and fruity essence, complementing the esters produced by the WB-06 dry yeast. To elevate the flavor, sweet orange peel (added 10 minutes before the end of the boil) introduces a hint of citrus zest, brightening the finish with a refreshing tang.
The result is a well-balanced, effervescent wheat beer with layers of fruit, spice, and subtle malt sweetness. Whether you're an experienced homebrewer or new to brewing, this hefeweizen beer kit provides all the essential ingredients to craft a high-quality, flavorful brew at home.
