Hi All,
I want to make a hefeweisen as my next (and only second) batch. As a beginner, I would like to stick to mostly extract, but I need some tips. One of my favorite hefeweizens, which I would like to make something close to, is Heinnieweiss Farmhouse Ale from Butternuts Brewery in NY. It comes in the green cans. It's the perfect summer beer because it's lighter in flavor than most hefeweizens and is very drinkable (probably goes down too easily on a hot day). It doesn't really have any clove flavor to it and doesn't have a strong yeasty flavor. It's mostly citrus and banana flavors. Even the color is a very bright yellow. I've seen it described as a traditional Bavarian hefeweisen, but it seems less intense than the Bavarian one's I've had.
If anyone is familiar with Heinnieweiss, what are some tips for making somether similar using extracts?
Thanks!
