Grandma's Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Wheat Beer Kit

Built as an extract recipe for 5 gallons with honey, earthy and floral notes, the Grandma's Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Wheat kit comes hopped with Saaz and Huell Melon and fermented with SafAle WB-06 yeast. In the glass it's gold, with roughly 6.2-6.7% ABV and 17 IBUs, and the grains are crushed to order for you.

Description

Grandma's Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Wheat gives you a light golden wheat beer with honey notes from the wheat and honey malts. The Saaz and Huell Melon hops add earthy and floral character along with a touch of honeydew and strawberry, while the Caramel 20L Malt contributes subtle depth. At bottling you add the strawberry and rhubarb flavorings to evoke the pie theme, and the SafAle WB-06 yeast ferments the wheat base cleanly.

Your Grandma's Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Wheat kit goes out without ever sitting on a shelf. We mill your grains to order. We pack it all fresh and leave the flashy box (and its cost) out. It's all about getting fresh ingredients into your hands so you can brew a beer you're proud of.
