Paulaner Brauerei, Munich, Bayern
The No. 1 Hefe-Weißbier in Germany and one of the world’s favourites. Naturally cloudy and shining silky gold in the glass under a really strong head of foam. At the first mouthful this Weißbier classic has a mild aroma of banana. Finer palates detect a trace of mango and pineapple and the balance between sweet and bitter. Beer connoisseurs appreciate the fine note of yeast and the mild but sparkling mix of aromas. It is a typical beergarden beer, which brings people together all over the world.

In a large pot, heat 5 liters of filtered water to about 65°C (149°F). Add the Pilsner, Wheat, Munich, and Carapils malts. Stir the mixture and maintain the temperature for 60 minutes to allow the enzymes to convert starches into sugars.

Prepare the Mash

After mashing, raise the temperature to a boil. Once boiling, add the Hallertau hops. Boil for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Boil the Wort

After the boil, cool the wort quickly using a wort chiller or an ice bath until it reaches about 20°C (68°F).

Cool the Wort

Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermenter. Add the Hefeweizen yeast and seal the fermenter with an airlock. Allow it to ferment at around 20°C (68°F) for 1-2 weeks.

Pitch the Yeast

After fermentation is complete, dissolve the priming sugar in a small amount of water and add it to the beer. Bottle the beer in sanitized bottles and cap them. Allow the bottles to condition at room temperature for another 1-2 weeks.

Bottle the Beer

Chill the bottles in the refrigerator. Pour the Hefe-Weißbier into a glass, leaving some sediment in the bottle. Enjoy the naturally cloudy, silky golden beer with its characteristic banana aroma and flavors.
