Our American Wheat small batch beer recipe kit yields a 1 gallon wheat ale with medium hopping and a fairly clean, neutral finish – a spritzy, refreshing warm-weather crowd-pleaser.
Like their German cousins, American wheat beers feature large proportions of malted wheat in the grain bill and are naturally a bit cloudy in appearance. Unlike German Hefe Weizen, though, American wheat beers have a bit more hop character and are fermented with a milder-tasting yeast, resulting in a more clean, neutral finish. With a spicy noble hop aroma and tart finish, it’s a spritzy, refreshing crowd-pleaser.
