Brewing a Wheat Beer

Had a sample of a commercial wheat beer and must say it is quite nice. Completely different taste than an ale or lager and it does seem to have the potential to play around experimenting with different additions for a curious taste 😉

Having sampled some of the Mangrove Jack’s lager brewed by fermentalist n01 I was very impressed (with skill and product alike 😉 ) Seems ageing is thekey to a good tasting beer.

I got hold of a Mangrove Jacks Wheat beer kit and started to mix em all up. The kit called for 1KG of Copper Tun brew enchancer and I decided to add a little extra dry malt to the mix (300g).

SG meassured at 1050!

Having lots of ice and 2 thermometers on standby I made sure to pitch at 22deg or less this time. I used the Mangrove Jacks kit yeast supplied, sprinkled on the wort and stirred.

Set the heater to ensure a steady temperature of +- 21deg and off she went!
