Quit calling it a "hefe"

[DeathBrewer]

goddamnit, all you people that are calling wheat beers "hefe"s need to stop, alright? It's "hefeweizen", "wit", or "wheat beer"! hefe means "yeast"...you are not making a yeast beer! you are making a goddamn wheat beer with yeast that accentuates its flavors!

good, glad i got that out of my system. don't let me catch that **** happening again.

In portland, a hef is a widmer hefeweizen. Every bar ever has it. Yes people are saying "I'll take a yeast", yes they are putting lemon it, yes it tastes good.

 

[Diablo]

Nothing wrong with calling it Weiss beer either.

 

[hopdog]

Do you ever sleep?

 

[JesseRC]

death never sleeps

 

[Laughing_Gnome_Invisible]

If I refer to a hefe in any way, please call the medics. I am obviously drunk to the point of alcohol poisoning if I am drinking that crap!

 

[EvilTOJ]

Pico's right, in Portland if you order a hefe, you're getting a Widmer hefeweizen. They invented the american hefeweizen style, after all, so we get some leeway.

Yes, they will add a lemon to it.

Oops...looks like he got out of his straight jacket again...

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

Nah. I'll have a kristal' instead. I don't want no "Hefe" beer.

 

[Evan!]

I love hefe's. I have a hefe on tap right now. I have another hefe in primary. Yay hefe!

 

[Glibbidy]

Hefe's are probably the beer style that I like the least. Too yeasty for me.

That picture is freakin' hilarious.

 

[noisy123]

Can I call it a weizen?

you read my mind!

 

[AnOldUR]

If I bottle condition my IPA, don't use any finings and it comes out hazy,
can I call it a hefe?

 

[Trubadour]

Hefe in Spanish ("jefe") means boss. -- Boss Beer

 

[DeathBrewer]

That's "Wiesse-bier"

 

[DeathBrewer]

Yes, they will add a lemon to it.

All the more reason to never order a "hefe"...I despise Widmer.

I don't believe in American Hefeweizen anyway, it's a goddamn American WHEAT. A hefeweizen has character from the yeast.

And yes, you can call it a weizen...that means wheat and it's a wheat beer.

And no, I don't sleep.

 

[shecky]

Relax, Francis.

 

[HBHoss]

Always a scary situation when Death goes on a rampage.

 

[DeathBrewer]

You guys are next.

 

[celestialparsnip]

Haha! It's a hveteøl, and none of you can stop me from calling it that! Haha!

(I like porn)

 

[HBHoss]

Isn't it pronounced Hwheat, emphasis on the "H"? (at least that's how Stewie pronounces it.)

 

[celestialparsnip]

Cool hwhip?

 

[arturo7]

hefe hefe hefe hefe hefe hefe hefe hefe hefe hefe hefe

mushroom! mushroom!

 

[DeathBrewer]

Beeer!!! Beeer!!! Oh, it's a Beer!!!

 

[Schlenkerla]

Death - What's your favorite "hefe" strain when making a hefeweizen?

 

[DeathBrewer]

ahhh....that KINDA WORKS, ya bastage

And it's WLP300.

 

[shecky]

Always a scary situation when Death goes on a rampage.

It would be even scarier if the rampage was something more important than semantics. Next thing, he'll rampage about the correct pronunciation of 'potato.'

 

[celestialparsnip]

It's 'poot-art-too'.

 

[DeathBrewer]

I just hate it when I ask for a hefeweizen at a bar (this happened last night) and the bartender says "oh, a hefe?" No, I want a ****ing hefeweizen and if you put a lemon in it I'll slap you (probably on her ass, cuz it was kinda nice.)

Then I come on HBT and I see more "hefe" nonsense. You lazy ****s don't need to abbreviate everything!

 

[jgln]

For some reason I am not able to reply to the OP via quote but only in this thread. Well I will compromise and cut/paste and see if this goes through goddamnit!

Dude, Relax! Have a Hefe, you will feel better!

 

[gplutt]

"Would you say I have a plethora of yeast, El Hefe?" (misspelled/misquoted for effect)

 

[IrregularPulse]

So you're complaining about us abbreviating Beer realted lingo when you're over here quoting Meredith Grey?

I am making a hefe this weekend, It's BM's Black peppered Wit recipe. I'm going to use a wheat yeast in it I think to give it that authentic German yeastiness I like so much in Blue Moon

That should about cover it all.....
