Muntons Wheat Beer

Post New Review


Wheat update
by Alan - Email Reviewer @ 12, May 2010

 5/5

After two weeks in the bottle its tasting great, very similar to Leffe Blonde (not my thoughts but two very critical mates), or 3/4 towards Hoegaarden when standing between Hoe and Macs Great White. Couldnt recomend more, the price in bottle is twice that of the regular effort but when your looking at $0.70 per stubbie vs $3.50 the pay back is less than a crate of home brew away.
 
Wheats a treat
by Alan - Email Reviewer @ 27, Apr 2010

 5/5

I started with the Muntons kit however swapped the yeast for a specialist wheat yeast (can't remember the brand). brewed as per directions however used a brewcraft wheat beer enhancer in place of dextrose/ sugar. I put the wheat enhancer in the barrel after the boiling water and brew kit resulting in some of the wheat to turn into porridge, this didn't end up negatively affecting the brew. OG 1040, FG 1006 after 13 days with temp varying from 22-17 degrees celcius. Just bottled it with standard two carbonation drops per crate bottle. Tasted surprisingly great straight from the barrel, will give an update in a couple weeks when I open up the first bottle or two.

Wonderful Beer
by Don - Email Reviewer @ 12, Feb 2009

 5/5

This was my introduction into homebrewing and certainly won't be my last. I always drank Wheat Beers - Erdinger, Franziskaner, Schofferhoffer, Paulaner & Weihanstephaner and was absolutely shocked to find my own nicer than any!!! I was expecting the worst as it was my first ever homebrew and always felt that homebrews can't surely be as good as the shop/pub varieties. Made according to instructions but used Muntons Light Spray Malt 500g instead of sugar for primary and left for 3 weeks in primary. Bottled and after 14 days - wonderful beer. Only way to describe is sweet wonderful taste with a great head. And at €0.61 per 500ml bottle is sure cheaper than €2.50-€3.00 at my local off-licence.
 
Summer wheat
by peterpiper - Email Reviewer @ 31, Aug 2008

 5/5

Followed suggested directions for 40pints. Result a clear, light, clean tasting brew. A very refreshing summer beverage, my favourite summer kit found so far. Fermented at constant 20 deg.C - stood next to the Aga (as we're in N. Scotland). Quick to clear - dispensed from top tap king keg)
 
Not a bad drop...
by Nudge - Email Reviewer @ 08, Feb 2005

 3/5

Very fizzy beer with great head retention. However, it might have something to do with the Pride of Ringwood hops I added to the wort or the Brew Booster ? The result is a very nice beer, but with very little to no wheat flavour. Maybe the hops was too strong for this style of beer. Still, very happy with it.
