Black Rock Whispering Wheat

Weissbier Attempt by Chris - Email Reviewer @ 12, Jul 2009
Had the desire to make some german style weiss beer as a pint in the pub is about £3.70. On advice from my homebrew shop guy, I bought the whispering wheat and Wyeast laboratories Weihenstephan yeast propagator. Really exceptional. On my next batch. Would highly recomend spending the outlay on some decent yeast for this one.

Hoegaarden clone - not even close by nafe - Email Reviewer @ 04, Dec 2008
Going for a Hoegaarden clone. Added 1kg LDME, 12g Halertau hops, 1 full grated orange rind and 12g coriander seeds. Boiled for 30 mins in 5L water, straight into fermenter/no straining/chunky style made up to 23L with filtered tap water for 2 weeks. 180g dextrose bulk optimus-prime for mad bubbles. Absolutely rude to taste after 2 weeks in the bottle, smelt like off yeast. 4 weeks, tasting/smelling better, but still no winner. 1st HB attempt, will try again, but not with this kit. Colour too dark for Hoegaarden, not even close.

made this kit as directed to be a hoegaarden clone. Added 1kg spray malt, 12g Halertau hops, orange rind and coriander seeds. OG; 1.058 FG; 1.010. Turned out beautiful after only 1 week. Not a perfect copy but pretty close. Nice and spicy and will definitely make again.

Could be better by NTRabbit - Email Reviewer @ 12, Aug 2006
Used this kit along with a brewiser wheat booster (it was free), 150g of chocolate malt and 100g of crystal malt to make a dunkelweiss. The kit yeast was typically naff, so I used a leftover Coopers Wheat sachet. Turned out ok, but still lacking.

Wheat? Who knows - who cares? by Beach Bum - Email Reviewer @ 26, Feb 2006
Attempted Hoegaarden style beer that has little in common with Hoegaarden. Made to 21 litres with 1kg Dry Wheat malt, 25g crushed coriander seeds, the zest of two oranges and safwheat yeast. Fermented at high teens for 2 weeks. Really good mouthfeel, full bodied, nice spicy aftertaste with a distinct orange colour and aroma...too much so initially, but has matured into a beautiful beer, not like Hoegaarden, not like anything in fact, but great drinking nonetheless.

My 11th Brew by Mafman - Email Reviewer @ 07, Dec 2005
This was an attempted Hoegaarden clone using 15gm of crushed criander seeds and 2 tbs of orange rind. Added 1kg of Wheat malt brew-enhancer and used Safwheat yeast. Made to 21 litres. Doesn't have a clean, crisp citrusy flavour...it's difficult to describe...maybe medicine is the best decription. Hopefully with age it might get better.

Kegged this one, thought nice with a wheatbeer for summer. Nice head and good mouthfeel. But where is the wheat, can't even taste a hint of wheat. Didn't expect Hoegaarden but feel robbed to have to drink 23 liters of this amber coloured water. I would give this 5 for blandness. Nearly as bland and nondescript taste as a Carlton Cold.
