Wheat Beer - Extract

Wheat Beer - Extract

American Wheat or Rye Beer • Partial Mash • 5 gal

stouts

This is a traditional German wheat beer. This beer has few bittering hops. Hefeweizens will have suspended yeasts which make the beer cloudy and produce bread-like "full bodied" flavors.

Not a German hefe

Not sure why you are calling this a German hefe, with American and English grain, and an American hefe yeast. German hefe character will not be present without a German hefe yeast.
