Great hoegarden style beer

This kit is excellent!

I added 1 can wheat malt extract, 12 g saaz hops, wheat beer yeast, orange peel, 1 tbsp coriander seeds.

Very similar to hoegarden

One of the Best Wheat Beer Kits.

Gday, done this kit a hand full of times and have never been disappointed. Found it to be nicer than the Black Rock Whispering Wheat, Thomas Coopers Wheat and Mangroves Jacks Barvarian Wheat. I used the Morgans Golden Sheaf Wheat Beer Kit with the Morgans Wheat Liquid Malt Extract, with 10gs of Hersbrucker and Hallertau Hops steeped for 10mins then chucked into fermenter. The brew temps sat around 16 to 18 with S-23 being used sitting for about 2 weeks in fermenter. Had my first taste today after 3 weeks in the bottle and im very impressed but im easily impressed. The head on the beer is consistent with lots of bubbles and very clear with no finnings being used (second glass from long neck head was not as frothy). Tastes crisp and clean with a malty wheat flavour. There is also a hint of the hops in the aroma and after taste. Would be great summer beer.

use a real wheat yeast

Used Wyeast 3944 Hoegaarden strain, ferments fast at higher temps @75F+ helps generate the most Belgian flavors. Added 750g dry wheat malt, after 7 days fermentation added tea made from 20g crushed indian coriander(spicy, lemony type), then directly added the zest from one big lemon. Left for 2 more weeks then bottled, made up to 22L. Took 10 weeks conditioning to turn into a very nice BrewPub quality wheat beer. Tip: Wash the 3944 yeast to get numerous uses out of one packet makes it cheap and easier to use. If you like the 3944 Belgian flavor it works great in Blonde ales and compliments any added citrus. Adds proportionately less Belgian flavors the lower your fermenting temp, fairly neutral @68F and lower.

sweet wheat

After two failures with Black Rock, I tried this Morgans wheat with success. Used can yeast, and added 12g saaz and 12g of POR, plus some steeped light grain (150g). Result is very sweet, sweeter than expected. Only criticism is I'm geting some vanilla as well. This may be the POR, and it may disappear over time. All in all a reliable kit wheat.

Run out of Barley?

Really, unless you're German and it's part of your national heritage, why drink this stuff? Beer for the new, womanly man (anybody out there read James Joyce?), that's what it is. Having said that, this is not a bad example. As HonestJohn likes to be objective, he'll give it a 4. The one home brew beer style where dextrose adds, rather than substracts from the end result. Just say your brewing it for your wife. Real men drink bitter.

Dunkelweizen

Used this as a basis for a Dunkel recipe. Added Morgans Masterblend Wheat, 400g Dextrose, 250g Choc malt steeped, 25g Saaz hops and Brewcellar European Lager yeast. Turned out a super dark wheat beer, with a lovely choc taste, but sweet whaeat beer aroma - jealously guarding what's left.

no complaints

Attempted Hoegaarden recipe. Added 1kg Dry Wheat Malt, crushed corinader seeds, orange zest, K-97 yeast fermented at low to mid 20's. The result, while a bit too amber in colour for an exact replica, was still a good quality beer. Nice lolly banana aroma. Have since used the kit again. No complaints.

Praise

Did this kit with the Specialty Blend Wheat malt. Came out at only about 3.8%, so if you're looking for more alcahol then perhaps fill fermenter to 20 litres or so instead of 23. Everyone I gave this beer to praised me for it. The first beer I made that really impressed the nay sayers.

very nice

Brewed this with a #10 brew blend 1/2 can morgans wheat malt and a saaz tea bag. Brewed with supplied yeast @ around 22 to 24 deg. Made a nice easy to drink fruity wheat beer. Have another one going now but will add hop bag at secondary.

nice wheat beer

I have no complaints with this kit, it was very good, although be warned, leave a good headspace in your fermenter or you will have a mess to clean up.

Morgans Wheat

Golden Sheaf + the Morgans Liquid Master Blend Wheat Malt Extract. Mixed with some Coopers Brew enhancer (250-500g). Importantly mix with yeast roused from 2 Coopers Pale Ale stubbies. 20 deg prim ferment. Straight to bottle. Clear as a pin. No yeasty bottle stink and a very clean wheatish light ale.

nice drop

Used this can + 500gms dme,reduced volume to 18 litres and fermented with coopers liquid roused from sparkling @18 c. Smooth mellow with a grainy wheaty undertone.Best at 6 weeks onwards. Possibly the nicest can plus i,ve done. Will do again with some choc malt and goldings to finish for a northern brown style.
