$77.80The League "Weizenfelder" - Weizenbock Recipe Kit
This recipe is designed to be in keeping with the 2021 BJCP Style guide 10C - Weizenbock.
Weizenfelder is a recipe created for The League of Brewers by Jamie McQuillan of Cell Division Brewery.
As should be expected from a Weizenbock, it is a strong malty version of a German wheat beer, full of the classic yeast-derived flavours and aromas of a Weissbier. Built upon a grist of mostly NZ malts and wheat-driven at its core, the beer is amber in colour and has a bready and toasty depth to match, thanks to a generous dose of Weyermann’s Munich Type II (Dark) and a touch of dark crystal malt. Gentle bittering with Hallertau Hersbrucker hops, a creamy mouthfeel and a touch of warming booziness help round it all out. Wunderbar!

$58.00The League "Dark Matter" - Dunkles Weissbier Recipe Kit
This recipe has been designed to be consistent with the 2021 BJCP Style guide 10B - Dunkles Weissbier.
Dark Matter is a recipe created for The League of Brewers by Jamie McQuillan of Cell Division Brewery. You could say that a Dunkles Weissbier (otherwise known as dunkelweizen) is a traditional old-world version of a Bavarian wheat beer, which were mostly dark back in the day, with the paler and perhaps more well known Weissbier becoming more popular in the 1960’s.
True to style, Dark Matter combines the yeast and wheat characters of a Weissbier with the malty richness of a Munich Dunkel. You should expect the classic banana-and-clove-like weizen yeast notes on a supportive toasted bready malt, with a touch of caramel. It will pour a dark copper colour and drink smooth and creamy with a refreshingly dry and light finish.
Continuing the trend with some of Jamie’s recent recipes for traditional German beer styles, this kit includes optional instructions for a decoction mash, a technique that is traditionally used in the brewing of a Dunkles Weissbier. This will help bring out the bready and malty flavours and for brewers who are curious about decoction mashing, this is an excellent style of beer to start experimenting. Prost.
