Everything you need to craft your perfect brew

STORY

Overview: Coopers Preacher's Hefe Wheat is inspired by Thomas Cooper’s history as both a brewer and lay preacher. This 5-gallon refill carries that heritage into a Belgian-style wheat beer with bright hazy gold color, soft texture, banana and clove aroma, a creamy white head, and a refreshingly tart finish.

PROFILE

Tasting Notes: Expect a hazy golden wheat beer with soft mouthfeel, banana and clove aromas, smooth wheat malt character, a creamy white head, and a balanced tart finish. Coopers Wheat Malt Extract adds body and classic wheat beer smoothness.

IMPORTANT BREWING NOTE

Batch Size Note: For the flavor and ABV listed on this product page, top off your fermenter to the 5-gallon / 19-liter mark.

Conditioning Note: Additional conditioning can help the wheat malt, banana and clove character, tart finish, and creamy mouthfeel smooth out.

    Preachers Hefe

    Haven’t quite tried the finished product yet (not quite done conditioning) but I can tell this is a winner from the little bit I tried while transferring to the keg. I’ll definitely be buying again! Highly recommend!

    Preaching to the Choir

    An excellent full-body taste particularly when ice-cold. This is the beer to hand to a home-brewing skeptic and say 'Try this one and tell me what you think.' It does not disappoint in terms of flavor with just a bit of a bite in the aftertaste. For good measure I dry-hop this six gallon batch with eight ounces of Cascades 14 days into a 21 day fermentation. So far great results!

    Hefe Wheat is a Winner

    Of all the beer recipes I purchased from Mr. Beer the Hefe Wheat has become my favorite. This beer is easy to brew and worth the short waiting period before drinking and sharing with my friends.
