Learn to brew beer with a recipe that is hard to get wrong. This Berliner Weisse recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Berliner Weisse, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

Berliner Weisse is a low-strength wheat beer from northern Germany, pale and cloudy and sharply tart. It was once the most popular beer in Berlin, and Napoleon's troops reportedly called it the Champagne of the North for its lively carbonation and acidity. The sourness comes from lactic fermentation, and the beer is often served with a shot of raspberry or woodruff syrup to soften the bite. At around three percent, it is a refresher before anything else.

A single small charge of Tettnang keeps the bitterness almost undetectable, which is the point in a beer meant to taste clean and acidic.

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes Wheat Malt in place of the recipe's Wheat Malt, Pale (Weyermann). We stock dry yeast only, so SafAle K-97 (German Ale / Kölsch) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's German Ale (Wyeast Labs 1007). Not included, add your own: Lactobacillus.

  • This kit is built for brew-in-a-bag (BIAB), the simplest way to make all-grain beer at home. The basic brew day looks like this:

    1. Heat your water and steep the milled grain to make wort.
    2. Boil the wort, adding the hops on the schedule in the recipe.
    3. Cool the wort down quickly, then transfer it to your fermenter.
    4. Pitch the yeast and let it ferment for about two weeks.
    5. Bottle or keg, wait for carbonation, then enjoy.

    That yields roughly 53 bottles of fresh Berliner Weisse. It works great with our digital electric homebrew systems, which hold your temperatures for you, though any kettle and burner will do.

  • This is a recipe kit, so it includes the ingredients only. To brew it at home you will also need:

    • A brew kettle or an electric all-in-one brewing system
    • A grain bag for brew-in-a-bag (or a mash tun for a traditional mash)
    • A fermenter with an airlock
    • A thermometer and a way to chill the wort
    • Sanitizer, and bottles or a keg for packaging
