Our version of this popular style has a smooth, sultry character that is at once both sweet and tart. It possesses a pungent aroma and abundant berry flavor. The strawberry sweetness is balanced by mellow hoppiness and crisp wheat.

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
1 Can Whispering Wheat Weizenbier
1 Can Golden Wheat UME
1 Packet Dry Brewing Yeast (under lid of beer mix)
2 Cans Strawberries in Light Syrup
1 Packet One-Step™ Sanitizing Cleanser

Step 1: Sanitizing
Follow the steps outlined in your MR.BEER® BEER KIT INSTRUCTIONS. (You can find a copy of these instructions to download by clicking on the "Kits" tab of the website.)

NOTE: POUR SANITIZER FROM YOUR BREW KEG INTO A BLENDER AND SOAK 10 MINUTES BEFORE DISCARDING EXCESS SANITIZER.

Step 2: Brewing
2.1. In your sanitized blender, purée the fruit, and set it aside to add later (step 2.6).

2.2. Fill keg with cold water to the 4-quart mark on the back.

2.3. Remove yeast packet from under lid of beer mix, then place unopened cans of mix and UME in hot water to make the liquid easier to pour.

2.4. Using the sanitized measuring cup, place 4 cups of water into a clean 3-quart pot and bring to a boil, then remove from heat.

2.5. Stir in beer mix and UME into this water. This mixture is called the wort.

NOTE: HOPS MAY APPEAR AS GREEN LEAF PARTICLES AND WILL NOT DISSOLVE.

2.6. Pour wort into keg. Bring the volume of the keg to the 8.5-quart mark by adding more cold water. Add your pureed fruit, then stir vigorously to mix well.

2.7. Sprinkle yeast into keg and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Stir vigorously again, then screw on lid.

2.8. Ferment by placing the keg out of direct sunlight and in a location with a consistent temperature. Allow beer to FERMENT A MINIMUM OF TWO WEEKS at room temperature (between 68°-76°F).

WARNING: DUE TO THE LARGE AMOUNT OF FRUIT, YOUR KEG MAY OVERFLOW OR EXPLODE! AS A PRECAUTION, PLACE YOUR KEG ON A LIPPED COOKIE SHEET OR IN A COVERED STORAGE CONTAINER (LIKE AN ICE CHEST) TO CATCH ANY OVERFLOW. IF YOUR KEG DOES OVERFLOW, MAKE SURE TO IMMEDIATELY OPEN THE LID AND WIPE AWAY ANY BLOCKAGE FROM THE LID AREA WITH A PAPER TOWEL DIPPED IN SANITIZER SOLUTION.

Step 3: Bottling & Carbonating
Follow the steps outlined in your MR.BEER® BEER KIT INSTRUCTIONS.
