I used wlp300 yeast to make my hefe, which I think qualifies it as a german style hefe. But can I label it Bavarian? What's the difference?
Thanks.
Thanks.
So, my next question is, Was a Heffeweizen or Witbier legal in Germany before 1993?
and fyi: Hefe = Yeast when translated to english, so you do need to be more spacific.
Only German ingredients would be allowed in the beer. And it possibly needs to be made in Bavaria, Europe has laws about these things. For example, any sparkling white wine NOT made in the Champagne province of France cannot be called champagne.
Except in the US, where we can legally call sparkling wine "Champagne", since the US is not party to the agreement with France. We didn't agree because alcohol was illegal in the US due to Prohibition when the agreement was signed.
It's probably more just laziness, kind of like all medical adhesive strips are Band Aids and all seltzer water is called Budweiser.
