Berliner Weisse is a refreshing low alcohol beer with a pleasant tartness that originated in Germany. A great summer beer that was once called the champagne of the north and is often served with a flavoured syrup such as Woodruff or raspberry.
The ATF Berliner Weisse's acidity/sourness is provided by WildBrew Philly Sour yeast, a unique yeast that primarily produces lactic acid during the initial phase of fermentation before switching over to ethanol production. This allows this beer to produced without the need for kettle souring.
The grain bill for the 24 L Batch recipe is under 4kg for the G30 and under 8kg for the G70 48 L Batch. It is recommended you consider using the Grainfather Micro Pipework, particularly for the G70 48 L Batch, which has been designed for use with smaller grain bills.
Yeast is not included in the kit. We recommend using Lallemand Wildbrew™ Philly Sour Yeast.
