In a large brew kettle, heat 6 liters of water to about 70°C (158°F). Add the pale malt and wheat malt, stirring well. Maintain the temperature for 60 minutes to allow the starches to convert to sugars.

Mashing

After mashing, sparge the grain with additional water heated to about 75°C (167°F) to extract as much sugar as possible. Collect the wort in the kettle.

Sparging

Bring the wort to a boil. Once boiling, add the Hallertau hops and boil for 60 minutes. Remove from heat and cool the wort to about 20°C (68°F).

Boiling

Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermenter. Add the yeast and seal the fermenter with an airlock. Allow fermentation to occur for about 1-2 weeks at a temperature of 20°C (68°F).

Fermentation

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

Bottling

Chill the bottles in the refrigerator and enjoy your homemade Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier with your favorite fish, seafood, or Bavarian sausages!
