DIY Home Brew | Northern Brewer Bavarian Hefeweizen | Full Brewing, Bottling and Taste Test

Ordered my Northern Brewer Bavarian Hefeweizen home brew kit from amazon. I’ll post the link below This turned out really nice and was super easy to make. The kit comes with a nice set of directions. I used my Cooper’s DIY Beer fermenter once the boiling and cooling processes were done.

The steps are super simple simple:

1. In your brewpot, bring 2.5 gallons filtered water to a boil
2. Add half of the wheat malt syrup (approx. half of 6lb. container)
3. Remove from heat and stir it in
4. You now have wort. Bring it to a boil again
5. Add the 1oz of German Tettnang hops and boil for 60 minutes
6. Add the remainder of the 3lbs of wheat malt syrup and add the 1lb of dry malt extract
7. Cool the wort.
8. Once cool, (siphon) add wort to fermenter leaving sludge at bottom
9. Fill remainder of fermenter (to 5 gallon mark) with water
10. Pitch yeast and add to wort once temp is 78F or lower (not warm to touch)
11. Let sit in fermenter for 2 weeks then bottle using priming sugar or carbonation drops
12. Let sit in bottle for 3-4 weeks.
13. Refrigerate for 1 day and then enjoy.
