Black Rock Classic Wheat

 Black Rock Classic Wheat

Brewing beer has never been this easy with the Black Rock Malt Extract Brewing can that makes 20L of beer. 

• IBU: 10
• ABV: 4.5% (approx. when adding 1kg dexrose)
• Hops (bittering): NZ Hops Green Bullet™
• Malt: 100% Pilsner malt

Black Rock Classic Wheat is a golden wheat beer with a fruity flavour. This refreshing, lively beer has been brewed with 38% New Zealand Gladfield wheat and 62% MaltEurop pilsner malt. NZ Green Bullet hops are added at the boil to provide a low bitterness to this concentrated brewery wort. Brew with 1kg Black Rock Liquid Brewing Sugar (or 1kg other sugar) for a classic Wheat beer finish. For more body and colour use 1.7kg Black Rock Wheat unhopped malt extract instead of sugar.

This Classic Wheat pours a pale golden color with an SRM of 3, offering a light and crisp malt profile. The blend of MaltEurop Lager and Gladfield Wheat malt provides a smooth, refreshing body with a subtle sweetness and fruity notes. The bitterness from NZ Hops Green Bullet™ is mild, contributing to a balanced finish with an IBU of 10. At 4.5% ABV, this Wheat beer is both sessionable and thirst-quenching, making it perfect for any occasion.

Costly, time-consuming all grain processes are not necessary to create quality craft wort at home. Discerning home brewers are always looking to improve their brewing techniques and beer quality. With this in mind, the master brewers at Black Rock have expertly brewed the highest quality fresh wort in a state-of-the-art Krones brewery, using only the finest fresh NZ wheat and malt before gently evaporating to 80 brix for your convenience.

How to enhance flavour and profile:

For best results, brew Black Rock Classic Wheat with Black Rock Unhopped Wheat (or a second can of Black Rock Classic Wheat to boost bitterness) & an 11.5g sachet of Fermentis Yeast: SafAle™ WB-06.

For a Hoegarden style, try adding a small amount of orange essence and freshly crushed coriander seeds.

Also goes well with fruit concentrates (raspberry, boysenberry, citrus or stone fruit).

Suggested hop additions:

• Belgian Witbier: use Saaz and/or Styrian Goldings for a mild, herbal, and slightly spicy aroma.
• American Wheat: use Cascade and/or Centennial for a citrusy and floral character.
• Hefeweizen: use Hallertau Mittelfrüh and/or Tettnang for a traditional, mild bitterness with floral and herbal notes.
• Fruit Wheat Beer: use Citra®, Amarillo®, and/or Mosaic® for a burst of tropical and citrus fruit flavors.
