Brewing Information

This wheat beer homebrew kit is an extract-based solution, ideal for brewers of all levels who want authentic hefeweizen flavour without all-grain complexity. Typical brewing steps:

1. Sanitise all equipment.
2. Warm the pouch contents slightly and add the 2.2kg extract to your brew water, following kit volume recommendations on the pack.
3. Add 1 kg dextrose if you want to reach the recommended gravity/priming levels or boost fermentables — this is suggested but optional.
4. Cool wort to pitching temperature and rehydrate or pitch the included Bavaria Wheat yeast 10g.
5. Ferment at a moderate temperature to encourage classic hefeweizen esters (commonly around 18–22°C) until fermentation completes.
6. Condition, prime and bottle or keg as usual. Expect a hazy, full-bodied wheat beer with banana and clove character.

Note: For precise volumes, fermentation schedules and carbonation targets consult the Mangrove Jacks instructions included in the kit or your preferred homebrew resource.
