Product Details

Brew authentic beer at home the way it is meant to taste. This Weizenbock recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew

Brew authentic beer at home the way it is meant to taste. This Weizenbock recipe kit comes with every pre-measured ingredient you need to brew Martin's Weizenbock, a 5-gallon all-grain batch, from grain to glass.

Weizenbock is what happens when you brew a wheat beer to the strength of a bock. Schneider's Aventinus is the beer that set the standard, and the template is a strong, dark, wheat-driven ale where the familiar banana and clove of the yeast deepen into dark fruit like plum and raisin over a full, bready malt body.

At close to 7 percent it is warming without being hot, a beer for cold weather rather than a summer afternoon. It carries the carbonation and haze of a weissbier but drinks with far more weight, closer to a liquid slice of dark bread and fruit.

A Note On Substitutions

This kit includes Wheat Malt in place of the recipe's Wheat Malt, Pale (Weyermann); Crystal 50 in place of the recipe's Caramunich® I. We stock dry yeast only, so SafAle WB-06 (Wheat) dry yeast stands in for the recipe's Hefeweizen Ale (White Labs WLP300).

  • 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 Weizenbock. 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
