How Much Beer Does the Kit Make?
Each Brick Road Wheat Beer kit is designed to make approximately 23 litres of finished beer when prepared according to the brewing instructions.
What Does Brick Road Wheat Beer Taste Like?
It produces a refreshing cloudy wheat beer with smooth wheat malt, bright citrus character and subtle coriander-like spice.
The beer has restrained bitterness and a clean, refreshing finish.
What Should I Add to the Kit?
For a fuller, classic wheat beer, add approximately 1.5kg of wheat liquid malt extract.
For a lighter wheat beer, add 1kg of wheat dried malt extract or 1kg of dextrose.
Wheat malt extract will generally produce more body, wheat flavour and mouthfeel than dextrose.
Is the Cloudy Appearance Normal?
Yes. A cloudy appearance is characteristic of many wheat beer styles and is not usually a sign that anything has gone wrong during fermentation.
Gently rolling a conditioned bottle before serving can redistribute the yeast sediment if you prefer a traditionally cloudy pour.
Can I Add Extra Hops?
Yes. For additional aroma, consider dry hopping with at least 30g of noble hops such as Hallertau, Saaz, Tettnanger or Hersbrucker.
These varieties complement the wheat malt without overpowering the beer’s refreshing citrus and spice character.
Does the Kit Include Yeast?
Yes. Brewing yeast is included with the kit.
Follow the fermentation temperature and usage directions provided with the yeast and on the product packaging.
Is This Kit Suitable for Beginners?
Yes. Brick Road Wheat Beer is suitable for brewers using standard extract brewing equipment.
Careful cleaning, sanitising and fermentation temperature control will help produce the best result.
