How To Brew Hefeweizen (Weissbier) | Counterflow Chiller

[@darkomtobia]

I love hefeweizen. It's really the greatest type of beer I've ever had, for me.

[@rayr268]

I just found the German Tucher Hefeweizen I’ve been looking for now for 12 years and I’m reminded that for me this is the best beer. Now I’m getting ready to brew my own like they do in Germany.

[@distractiontherapy]

A beer that doesn't require chilling during fermentation. I can hide that anywhere in the house so the wife can't find it :D Those British beers and the taste of home are finally in sight. Thanks for another fabulous brew class Martin.

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Yes, so so close to the British beers now. With beer names and ingredients I can actually pronounce.

[@RedGreen1]

I was itching for a new video so I rewatched the American Wheat episode, then I discovered you just posted, excellent timing and a great comparison.

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Perfect timing!

[@AmitBentabou]

I dont have a fridge for lagers, so I'm glad we're off to the ales!

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

No kidding.. no more lengthy lagering of beers for a while.

[@giroirtj20001]

close the valve on the wort side of your counter flow to slow the wort down untill the temp of the wort is at pitching temp. Then you can go strait into your fermenter.

[@theroguetomato5362]

I used to get Weiss beer in Hoboken, NJ. They coated the inside of the glass with raspberry syrup before pouring the beer. It was delicious.

[@alanpotter8680]

But this turns it into a Belgian witbier.

[@nateuerdaz8038]

Pro tip. For my counterflow chiller I don't use water running from the tap. Here in TX it's often so hot that the ground water isn't cold enough. I fill a cooler full of ice and water (like 60 lbs of ice or more) and use a pool cover pump to circulate the water through the chiller. Typically part way through I have to syphon off some water into another container and add some more ice. But I find that in the summer months, it's my only choice.

[@ColoradoBrewTalk]

I've cold crashed my hefeweizen for a week or so, just to clear it up, and served it as kristalweizen and had good feedback from people who've had the real thing. Great video!

[@frazzledpenguin]

Just a tip that I learned with my counter flow chiller... instead of recirculating back into the kettle to cool the whole kettle down and then transfer, dial back the speed of the wort flow through the chiller so that it's in contact with the water in the chiller longer. This is critical and increases the effectiveness. Put a sanitized temp probe on the output of the chiller. When it's coming out at pitching temp (only a couple mins) move the output hose to the fermenter. Chilling time goes from 15 - 20 mins to 5 - 10. I do this with my robobrew.

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Throttling the flow makes sense to me. Thanks.

[@kriss8931]

Great. I would love to try it out. Living in Germany I can confirm the Wheatbeer styles. Generally, there are just so many brewers that you kind of have to find the one that you like. The kind of styles of the wheat beers that are referred to are mostly Dunkel , Normal, Kristall. Dark, normal, crystal. But there are certainly other less common styles as well. Brands that I personally like; Erdinger, Maisels. Both have a cloudy traditional type of wheatbeer.

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

I ❤️ Erdinger!

[@paulmcclelland4511]

The Krystal I tried and loved was in Baden Wuttenberg, sandwald brewery, just outside stuttgart. It’s won German beer contests for years. It’s a fantastic brew that sends you bananas as well as smelling like them!

[@jerseyhovidea]

Nice vid! If you want to try authentic Bavarian wheat beer, try to go with 50% wheat malt, 40% pilsner and 10% of Munich I malt that Bavarians use to give it extra malty character. Furthermore you can try multirest infusion with one special step at 43-45°C for 10 minutes, which actually activates the precursor of ferulic acid - later on the special weizen yeast would turn it more effectively to "bananaclove". Funny thing is that this precursor is present in basemalt like pilsner malt, not in the wheat malt as one would suggest. Your yeast aplication procedure is brilliant, it´s really good to underpitch it a bit to torture those little beast a little, furthermore it´s good to boost up those esters by lead the fermentation process in a little bit higher temp range around 22°C. Great vid, keep it up!

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Yes, good point.

[@mrdespizeme]

Just pump the beer thru the immersion chiller that's sitting in ice water. Has worked like a champ for me for years. Always made more sense to me, more surface area in contact with beer.

[@wejohnson1001]

Great job Martin! I love my CFC, I’ve found that pre chilling my water using my old immersion chiller in an ice bath and slowing the flow of the wort allows me to single pass chill from kettle to fermenter. Really speeds things up for my brew day. Keep killing it with the great content!

[@DavidRJones82]

Open fermentation on Hefeweizen is awesome. Really punches up the banana flavor and aroma.

[@alanpotter8680]

There are so many ways to bring out the banana flavor. Many people tell me that dry wheat yeast can never produce a good banana flavor. On the contrary, it can, but sadly many liquid yeast users don't know how to properly work with dry wheat yeast, often severely overpitching, which results in few or no aromas/flavors. I read many home-brewer forums and I've notice something that people do (mostly Americans), and it is to ferment their hefe at around 68F (20C), which is so wrong on so many levels. I've made hefeweizen with every available hefe yeast here in Greece and if I have to be honest, the best result I've had, came from M20 Bavarian Wheat Yeast by Mangrove Jack's. It fermented at 22-22.5 for the first 3 days, after which I let it rise to as high as 24-25 C. It produced incredibly tasty banana hefe with that barely noticeable authentic sulfur hint that you get from fresh Weihenstephan brew. WB-06 is harder to work with but it can still be controlled and get a very good banana aroma and taste. WB-06 has higher attenuation but also higher flocculation. Anyway, great video!

[@jacoby7114]

get a thermometer inline on your wort out pipe of the chiller. as soon as the wort is at pitching temp on your thermometer you can transfer to the fermenter, no need to transfer back into the kettle. will save you time, and water!

[@sigrooms]

His system has a thermowell in the kettle for the probe that connects to his control box, so it's not really needed in this case.

[@mikehalls]

@@sigrooms but recircing back into the kettle with a CFC is a waste. Treat a CFC the same as you would a plate chiller

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Right ideally I could chill everything in a single pass.

[@mikehalls]

@@TheHomebrewChallenge exactly, my ground water isn't cold enough he in Cape Town in the summer to get to pitching temp, so I do the final bit of chilling in the fermenter.

[@Waymeytc]

I want to make a DIY counterflow chiller. 12mm copper tube, in a 19mm plastic tube, 15m long.

[@vonb1omberg]

The traditional mashing schedule for weissbeer employs step mashing that starts from 45C. Next time try WY3068 yeast, thinking, you would be surprised by the result.

[@smitty7592]

vonb1omberg step mashing is to bring out the ferulic acid which can bring out more of the clove. He stressed the yeast which brought out more banana. WY3068 is supposed to be the same as WLP300(what he used). Both are supposed to be the Wiehenstephan strain.

[@Saintsdevotee]

I've also read that step mashing is important in this style and that's the way I've made them. I've never tried a standard single temp mash. I wonder if they'd come out the same. I'm always trying to get mine to taste closer to weihenstephaner. My hefe I'm doing is going to ferment at 74 to further stress the yeast.

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Sounds like I need to step up my umm.. step mash game

[@sonatine3266]

First of all: Yes, it's called "Kristallweizen" - it's crystal clear wheat-beer. Hefeweissbier (yeast white beer) is the best beer in the world, imho. And the best def. comes from Germany - several German breweries of this beer-style are winning year for year different prizes. Of course Germany is also very well known to have the best Lager beer, but the oldest existing brewery in the world from Weihenstephan (founded in 768 and licensed in 1040) is actually known for it's absolute worldclass Hefeweissbier. It's fruity (banana-like), very "drinkable", super refreshing, has a lot of carbonic acid and is simply the perfect summer-beer when you're having a nice German barbecue. Other recommendations are: Duderstädter Hefeweizen (very fruity and fresh wheat-beer), Ayinger Urweisse (Dark wheat-beer) and Hirsch Kristallweisse (here we have the crystal clear one). :)

[@user-gv9my3jy4b]

YES!! I thought I was going to have to commit my entire afternoon to finding a KZbin video about wheat beer that wasn't an aging hipster laying on the fake humility routine super, super thick.

[@dimash244]

This looks like something must make!

[@TheBpsr2000]

One thing we do with our Counter flow chiller setup, is to run the hot clean water runoff into a bucket to provide piping hot water for our sanitizing bucket. Saves 5 or so gallons of 100 plus degree water for sanitizing and cleaning after brewing is done. P.S. I'm loving this challenge, great work through and through, If you need any specialty hops let me know, sadly our local homebrew supply closed.......and I and a few of our local home brewers may have uhm...lets just say our wives were not happy but we'll never have to buy hops again !!!

Awesome, I'm picturing a garage full of chest freezers filled with hops :)

[@poisonpotato1]

I heard that doing open fermentation increased the yeast characteristics

[@journeyfortwo5211]

Instead of (or as well as) underpitching yeast, would fermenting at higher temperatures achieve the intended flavour profile?

[@SVERIGEDALLETV]

Great video Martin. But we don't take rice hulls in our hefeweizen (German purity law :-)).

[@Zinger7107]

Have you entered any of these into Homebrew competitions? I wish there were scores from judges to show how you did per style...

[@Jacob-eo8si]

Would appreciate if you could do an experiment for the hefweizen banana esters. Find out what variables matter in making these esters. There seems to be a lot of theories. So far I found it difficult to make a bready banana hefeweizen😢

[@christianbureau6732]

Use your pump with your immersion chiller, it will be faster, make a nice whirlpool and you don't have to stir...cheers

[@kristoffernilsen6926]

Have you considered sticking your immersion chiller in a bucket of ice water as a pre-stage cooling of the water for you counter flow chiller? It would probably decrease cooling times significantly.

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

I did try this last summer and was a bit disappointed. I went as far as freezing my immersion chiller in a bucket so it was completely encased in ice. Running water through it, I'd only see a couple of degrees drop off in temperature.

[@JohnGaltJeep]

I am absolutely ADDICTED to your channel. Thanks for the effort you put into this. I have a question though. I have your same Unibraü system. Why do you use 2 brau supply controllers? I can't figure out what the second one is used for

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Thanks for watching! The second controller is to regulate power to the 240V heating element.

[@Bareego]

There are actually three variety of wheat beers in Bavaria. Kristall = bright filtered, Weiss = bright unfiltered and Dunkel = dark unfiltered. For the dark version just replace the pilsner malt with dark/chocolate malt. In my opinion the best version of Bavarian wheat beer.

[@maclafm1252]

Pump that fermentation temp up to 25°, 26° and get even more estery goodness

[@ninkasihomebrewer8226]

I love hefeweizen beer. I just brewed my beer.

[@davearmstrong2296]

Question re the yeast process. You split the yeast into 10 viles and only used one for the starter. Does this mean that much less yeast was used? i.e. only one tenth? If so, how was 5.2ABV gained with so little yeast? Also, what did you do with the other nine viles of yeast? Cheers, Dave

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

That’s right. So total guesswork here with these numbers but here’s the basic idea. Each vial has about 20-30 billion yeast cells. Adding them to a starter for a couple of days increases that to around 100 billion yeast cells. Which is the same amount of yeast cells you’d find in a fresh yeast package. That goes into the beer and the other vials stay in my freezer so I’ve got more yeast for the next batch.

[@davearmstrong2296]

I use a cf wort chiller too and I have two problems with it. In the summer, ground water doesn’t get the wort down to pitching temp. Second, it wastes a lot of water down the drain. How about recirculate ice water for a video idea? I want to build that with an old cooler mash tun.

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Sounds like a cool project, and as you say would cut back on water usage.

[@wlira]

Hi Martin, I like your chanel. I used a recipe from Gordon Strong witch replace Pilsner malt with Vienna Malt and give some more maltiness to the beer. And I Know traditional weizen is made with decoction mash, that helps a lot with recipes with more than 50 percent wheat, maybe you should try it ( and make a compare with regular mash program).

[@mooshow]

Love these videos but it would be great to see you utilize the chilling water better, its a shame to see so much wasted down the sink.

[@janpietraszewski759]

The point about the appearance of the Weißbier is the head of the pour. It's not supposed to look like a English pour without foam. It's a sign of a good pour if you get a bottle of Weißbier in the glass with a nice fiamy head and no spillage (and don't forget the yeast) - although that's not really relevant for a beer on tap

[@philipm660]

Great Video and Channel. Just a few sidenotes: the term Weissbier is generally more used in Bavaria in all other parts of Germany it is called Hefeweizen. To my knowledge Kristallweizen is more popular in Baden Württemberg and not so much in Bavaria....no proof for that just my experience.

[@TheHomebrewChallenge]

Thanks, didn't know that. Kristallweizen is all very much an unknown beer style for me.. I'm interested in revisiting that one.

[@janpietraszewski759]

Us Bavarians like our Weißbier with the yeast in the beer. You pour it in the glass till about 90 percent of the bottle,wait a bit and then shake the bottle to get the rest of the yeast in the glass. Kristallweizen just had no yeast in the glass (or its rather filtered in the brewery)

[@marcusframe1015]

Wondering what temp the water running through the counterflow chiller was. My ground(tap)water isn't nearly cool enough to chill my brews down to the 66-68F mark within an acceptable amount of time, so I use the two-immersion-chiller trick with one in an ice bath. Works but still takes a while and a lot of stirring of both the wort and the ice bath.

[@JonDAlessandro]

Curious as to how you do the yeast splitting that you refer to. Do you just eyeball it and what about sanitation?

Why not saving heated water for cleaning equipment?

[@MetalSStar196]

Because heated water might contain the bacteria-mediated toxins and would need to be heated to high boil to completely sanitize the water, much like when one has a water-boil advisory in effect.

@@MetalSStar196 I know few commercial brewers that use water from heat exchangers for next mash last batch in a day goes to hlt for cleaning equipment. Draining water directly is just wastefull.

[@moritzbraun5034]

Nice video! As a German I have to add this: More foam! It looks a bit sad in the video. You got the right glasses, but almost the whole top part should be foam. Like a good 5cm, going a bit over the top, it's a bit of an artform to always get it right. If you don't get a foam mustache going for that previous first sip, you are not doing it right. And Kristallweizen.... don't. You want the yeast, that gives the name and flavor. You should swirl out the yeast that settles on the bottom for the last part of the pour to get everything of the good stuff. Removing that to make Kristallweizen is not the way to go! Yes, you can get it sometimes but it's neither traditional nor common, fortunately!

[@alanpotter8680]

Some personal notes from one brewer to another, or to anyone who cares to read :) First, I don't know how can you get banana flavors when fermenting at 20 C. Every hefeweizen yeast recommends 22-25 C for the banana spectrum (and that needs to be quite stressed yeast).20-22 is more like bubblegum (which is often mistaken for banana) with some clove, especially when using WLP300. Second, when underpitching a hefeweizen, make sure that the yeast starts working as soon as possible and in the banana spectrum, it will give you that nice final touch of silkiness and bring that vanilla aftertaste. And lastly, I always use only wheat and pils malts.. No melanoidin, no carapils, no malted oat.. just 67% wheat and 33% pilsner malt, sticking to the original bavarian hefeweizen as possible. I add a touch of acidulated malt to fix my pH a bit and give me that nice milky yellow hefeweizen. Nothing else. For hops I use only Hallertau Mittelfrüh or Tettnanger ... lately I prefer the latter more, especially when paired with M20 Bavarian Hefeweizen yeast from Mangrove Jack's. Excellent alternative for those who can't get fresh liquid yeast or is just too damn pricy. Remember, if a dry yeast pack says "good for 25L of wort" , that means you can easily ferment a 40L batch with that one pack. One time I overpitched a 100L batch by mistake with a 20L starter of Wyeast 3068. At the end I had 100+ L of yellow tasteless, odorless beverage @ 5.5 ABV.

10:05 yes Kristall Weizen.

[@santaclaus0815]

When I look at your filled glasses, I get sad. Weissbier should have a head of foam 2-4 fingers wide. This releases aromas and also CO2, because wheat beer is typically heavily carbonated. If the head of foam is not high enough after filling, there is a "repair trick": simply throw 3-5 grains of white rice into the glass. They sink to the bottom and bubbles form on them, which rise and create new foam.
