Preach the banana and clove gospel.

Coopers Preacher Hefe Wheat is proper German-style wheat beer — cloudy golden, banana and clove, the kind that converts non-believers one glass at a time. Bavarian soul, your brewing gear, no sermon required.

How much beer does it make? 23 litres (about 56 stubbies or 44 schooners)

Beer You Will Get:

  • Colour: Cloudy golden
  • Body: Medium with wheat character
  • ABV: Around 4.5-5%
  • Best served: Cool (6-8°C)
Brewing Instructions

How to Brew It:

  1. Clean your gear. Sanitise everything like your beer depends on it... because it does!
  2. Soften your extract can in hot water (10 mins), then empty into fermenter
  3. Add 1 x 1.5kg Coopers Wheat Malt Extract
  4. Add 2L of water and STIR until dissolved (be careful not to scratch the bottom)
  5. Top up fermenter to 23L mark with cold water. Boom! You have made wort!
  6. Cool wort to 18-22°C. Take gravity reading if you want
  7. Sprinkle yeast over wort
  8. Cover, add airlock, and place in dark spot (21-27°C - warmer temps bring out banana character)
  9. After 6 days, check gravity. Take gravity readings on consecutive days. If they are identical and under 1.016, you are good to go!
  10. Bottle or keg. Add carbonation drops or sugar when bottling. Wait 2 weeks minimum (better at 4 weeks)
  11. You are officially a wheat beer wizard! Drink and brag.
