Bavarian Hefeweizen Extract Beer Recipe Kit

Bavarian Hefeweizen Extract Beer Recipe Kit

I’m a newbie having brewed about a dozen batches but this is my favourite so far.

The great thing about Northern Brewer was the wealth of expertise the workers at the store had to offer, and the ease by which one could grab fresh grains and the like. Now, even just for a simple kit brew, I have to wait for the chat response to get advice on differences in yeasts. I was happy to pay what it cost to get equipment, kits, grains, yeast and hops from the brick and mortar, but now the same things may as well cost 20%+ more due to shipping, and lack the benefit of the workers' expertise. Same quality product, but a true shame to lose the quality service the brick 'n' mortar offered, especially while they've maintained the same prices. I wish I could just swing by the warehouse to save myself the shipping!

Could not really give this a 5 as I used the new yeast supplied compared to the original yeast which came with the first batch brewed. Normally when I brew the bubbles through the bubbler go like crazy but this time no bubbles through the bubbler at all. Eventually after a week I popped the lid thinking that the yeast did not activate but the surface was covered in a thin layer of yeast so I just let it carry on as normal.

Beer turned out great! Very straight forward recipe with superb results. I followed the recipe to a "T" and the outcome was expected! Very impressed with Northern Brewer with both their product quality and customer service. Will definitely be purchasing more in the future.
