Hey Laurel and Ron,
Well it looks like we are all keen to give the grow your own hops thing a go. I will keep working away at tracking some down. Will let you know when I do. Cheers
Interesting. I thought the freshness thing was more about kits (because of the yeast), and that the extract itself, once canned, would keep pretty-well indefinitely. However, if what you say is correct then perhaps I need to take more care on that o…
I recently put a hops order in with NZ Hops in Nelson. They were very good. Their web site has heaps of info and price-wise they come in well under what you pay locally. They do NZ as well as imported. SOmetimes they can supply cones as well. You ca…
Nice!
nice!
How depressing, but thanks. I am thinking I will take it back and exchange it for something else.
Just remembered that a friend used WB-06 with a Munton's Blonde Kit - was actually quite good - way better that the so called 'wheat' kits I've tried.
I once did a witbier using the same kit, plus a bag of the enhancer stuff, some coriander and orange peel. Did it as a comparison against the AG version we brewed at the same time - same yeast (WB-06), same fermentation schedule, but even after a go…
I wouldn't add any lemon. Or anything unless you're aiming for a belgian wit over a german weiss.
If you're aiming for something german you NEED the right yeast. I swear by WLP300/WY3068 for hefes. Fermentation temperature also plays a big part, 17…
Definitely want a decent brew out this- still, it seemed a good idea at the time!
Yeah that brew was shit Ally! And you are blaming the yeast? Haha just kidding. I had forgotten about that.
Tom if you want a good weissbier, it will probably pay to do it properly. Do as Ally suggests and put it towards a pale ale or similar
Thanks Christian. More food for thought!
Hmmm. I tried a ginger beer kit recently and it doesn't taste that good (though it may improve). Your comments make me suspect that using a kit for a wheat beer may be disappointing as well. Anyway, thanks for the tips. Think I will sit on the idea…
Yourshout in Linwood doesn't do WB-06. I got mine from DMH.
Having used WB-06 i wouldn't use it again - wasn't a patch on any other wheatbeers yeasts I've tried (thru drinking, not brewing) - it had a bubblegummy clove-y sweetness that was quite of…
The Brewcraft kit is made by Muntons. These are quite dark and not really suitable for a spiced Wit beer (more suitable for a Hefeweizen). I tried my first wheat beer with two Munton's wheat kits, WB-06 and some orange peel & coriander. The WB-06 gi…
