Imperial Hefeweizen Instructions

MR.BEER® Seasonal Refill. The included recipe will produce 8 quarts of approximately 6.5% alc/vol all-malt beer in about 6 weeks.

REFILL INCLUDES:

1 Can Imperial Hefeweizen HME

1 Packet Safbrew WB-06 Dry Wheat Yeast

1 Packet One-Step™ No-Rinse Cleanser

My modified instructions:

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

2. Place unopened can in hot tap water (warm liquid pours more easily).

3. Using a sanitized measuring cup, place 6 cups of water into a clean 5-quart pot.

4. Bring water to a boil and remove from heat. Stir HME into pot (this mixture is called the wort).

5. Pour wort into keg. Bring the volume of the keg to the 8.5-quart mark by adding more cold water. Stir vigorously to mix well.

6. Sprinkle yeast pack into keg and ALLOW TO SIT FOR 10 MINUTES. Stir vigorously again, then screw on lid.

7. Place keg out of direct sunlight, in a location with a consistent temperature (between 59°-75°F)

ALLOW TO SIT A 21 DAYS.
