Wheat

Black Rock Classic Wheat is a golden wheat beer with a fruity flavour. This refreshing, lively beer has been brewed with 38% New Zealand Gladfield wheat and 62% MaltEurop pilsner malt. NZ Green Bullet hops are added at the boil to provide a low bitterness to this concentrated brewery wort.

Brew with 1kg Black Rock Liquid Brewing Sugar (or 1kg other sugar) for a classic Wheat beer finish. For more body and colour use 1.7kg Black Rock Wheat unhopped malt extract instead of sugar.

For best results, brew Black Rock Classic Wheat with Black Rock Unhopped Wheat (or a second can of Black Rock Classic Wheat to boost bitterness) & an 11.5g sachet of Fermentis Yeast: SafAle™ WB-06.

For a Hoegarden style, try adding a small amount of orange essence and freshly crushed coriander seeds.

Also goes well with fruit concentrates (raspberry, boysenberry, citrus or stone fruit).

Suggested hop additions:

Belgian Witbier: use Saaz and/or Styrian Goldings for a mild, herbal, and slightly spicy aroma.

American Wheat: use Cascade and/or Centennial for a citrusy and floral character.

Hefeweizen: use Hallertau Mittelfrüh and/or Tettnang for a traditional, mild bitterness with floral and herbal notes.

Fruit Wheat Beer: use Citra®, Amarillo®, and/or Mosaic® for a burst of tropical and citrus fruit flavors.

Spiced Wheat Beer: use Saaz and/or Perle for a subtle spicy and herbal character.
