Brewmutt's Wheat

Classification:
Hefeweizen (Wheat)
Description
This is a simple but great tasting Hefeweizen recipe. Don’t let the simplicity fool you, some of the best beers are the easiest to brew. It’s important to use the liquid yeast when doing wheat beers or they will not ferment true to style and will be missing the complex “clove” and “banana”spice flavors. Since wheat beers are usually hazy, we don’t use Irish Moss in the boil.
