Some of my friends and I go to a local brewery and they do a "brew your own beer" deal. The hefeweizen we made there once came out pretty good, but I've had the same hefe there and the taste can really vary. Seems like a tough beer to perfect.<br /><br />Didn't know that about the Schaum - learn something new every day!Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11433055547006510517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3007564494906943793.post-68668437254952888452009-04-28T17:25:00.000-06:002009-04-28T17:25:00.000-06:00You are so right about Hefeweizen.

Outside of the witz bier (like the American Blue Moon), its the only beer I can drink - actually have almost forgotten what a hopped beer tastes like!<br /><br />I'm glad to know about this one. I have been trying to brew at home a good German wheat hefeweizen and its killing me. A very hard beer to brew and bottle - the ultimate challenge.<br /><br />You are correct about the Germans not putting 'fruit' in their beer. In fact, they would NEVER do something like that as it messes up the Schaum - the head. When you have a Hefeweizen poured over there, it should take about 7 minutes to get to your table as the server must keep waiting or knifing the foam off the top to get you to the .5 Liter mark. Anything less than 7 minutes and you have not gotten the real thing!<br /><br />Rob's new almost "in-law"<br /><br />Larry HallasLarry Hallashttp://www.almosteurope.comnoreply@blogger.com
