""Hefe" means yeast, "Weizen" means wheat. Long ago in the south of Germany, the two combined to create this tasty sought-after wheat beer. Fast forward to 2000, when a homebrewer named Hank introduced us to his Hefeweizen beer recipe, and we’ve been selling it ever since! This popular non-hoppy Hefeweizen beer recipe kit delights a wide range of beer lovers with its medium body and effervescence. Fill a stein and serve with a slice of lemon. Prost!

Fantastic Wheat! Review by Dave

This, by far, is one of my all-time favorites and for me, and all-year round brew. I have brewed this with and without the liquid option. Go with the liquid for the best wheat brew from Midwest!

1st time with this one, just tried the 1st bottle and it is good. Used the dry yeast and happy with the taste. Added a 1lb of honey about halfway through the boil.

Maybe the best wheat beer you'll ever have Review by Minesweeper

If made with the White Labs WL 300, this may be the best Hefe weizen you'll ever have. Loads of banana and clove, and silky smooth. I've tried nearly every bottled commercial Hefeweizen available, and have brewed several different kits myself, and this Hank's Hefe Weizen is my favorite. Don't be concerned with a sulfur smell during fermentation, and make sure to put the fermenter in a shower stall or somewhere that will contain spills because the WL300 is very active with a low flocculation and usually blows the air trap off my fermenter.

I am not as experienced as most with homebrewing, but this is my absolute favorite at this point. Definitely recommend the liquid yeast option. The last batch didn't last very long at all, all of my friends and family loved this as well.

This Hefe is fantastic! I just poured my fist one after letting it sit in the bottle for 2 weeks and it is great. I followed the recipe exactly as noted and it turned out great. If you like hefes, make this kit.

GREAT BEER!! I just drank one while eating a banana taffy; Mixed well. I recommend this beer to anyone who enjoys a beer that cannot be picked up at the local store.

Very Good! Review by Ryan

Brewed it with the liquid yeast option. At first I wasn't really sure about the amount of banana taste I was getting after 3 weeks bottle aging. It has since mellowed a bit more and is really enjoyable at this point.

This was my first brewing and I will definitely brew it again. All of my friends also thought it was very good, and have asked for some to be present at our next event.
