German Hefeweizen | Unmilled (Base Malts Only)

Something to consider when choosing between dry or liquid yeast is that dry yeast is far more stable at warmer temperatures, whereas liquid yeast must remain cold in order to preserve its viability. This is hard to do when shipping long distances, and is why we always recommend adding ice packs or an insulated mailer to your order when purchasing liquid yeast. Please note that this will only extend the time that the yeast remains cold, and does not guarantee that the yeast won't arrive warm. During the hotter seasons, or if you live in a warmer climate, we strongly recommend ordering dry yeast over liquid yeast.

Liquid yeast has long been preferred by home brewers due to the large selection and a perception of higher quality, but dry yeast has come a long way in recent years, making huge strides in improving selection, character, viability, and shelf stability. In multiple blind tastings, we have found that brewers actually prefer the beer fermented with dry yeast over the same beer fermented with an equivalent liquid yeast strain.

Helps extend the time that the yeast stays cool in transit. Cool temperatures help keep the viability of the yeast higher which in turns leads to faster fermentation start times and better beer. The Insulated shipper helps the ice last much longer, however neither option will ensure your yeast stays cool the entire trip.

The Insulated Shipper option can hold 10 White Labs packages, 3 Wyeast packages, 3 GigaYeast packages, 3 Omega Yeast packages, or 3 Imperial Yeast packages. Check out ICE1 for more information.

The Large Insulated Shipper option can hold 30 White Labs packages, 12 Wyeast packages, 12 GigaYeast packages, 6 Omega Yeast packages, or 5 Imperial Yeast packages. Check out ICE2 for more information.

NOTE: We highly recommend ordering DRY YEAST during hotter months as your liquid yeast may get warm during the delivery period, even with multiple ice packs included. The insulated mailer offers better protection, but is still not guaranteed.

Keep your yeast healthy and happy with the nutrients it needs to make great beer! Yeast nutrients help prevent off-flavors, decrease fermentation time, and increase alcohol potential. Nutrients are especially important when making high gravity beers.

We have a great selection of grain bags to keep your beer clear and let you Brew in a Bag. The disposable bag is a cheaper 1 time use option for either grain or hops. If you are steeping up to 2 lbs of grain, the 8" x 15" bag works great but if you are looking to steep more than 2 lbs or are doing a Brew in a Bag the 29" x 29" grain bag is the way to go.

The 6" x 8" hop bag is great for small 1-2 oz hop additions and the larger 9" x 12" hop bag is perfect for whole cone or larger pellet additions.

Sanitizing your equipment is one of the most important steps of the brewing process. When you finish your boil, you want to make sure that you provide a sterile environment for your yeast to do its job. Other microorganisms can stress your yeast and add off-flavors to your beer.

Priming sugar is used during the bottling process to carbonate your beer. Add some fermentable sugar to your beer before bottling and the yeast leftover from fermentation will continue working and carbonate your beer right in the bottle. You can also use carbonation drops by adding 1-2 to each bottle before capping them.

If you are looking to bottle your beer here are three of our most popular beer bottles that will keep your beer safe until you are ready to drink it. Each package of bottles includes enough to bottle most of a 5 gallon batch (if you have a full 5 gallons you may need a few extra bottles).

These bottle caps are commercial grade and will keep your beer fresh until you are ready to drink it. The package includes 50 caps which is enough to bottle 5 gallons of beer with a few left over! The caps have a diameter of 26 mm, meaning they will fit all American beer bottles.They contain an oxygen absorbing agent in the liner to prevent oxidation.

Propper Starter™ is condensed wort in a can, allowing you to make a yeast starter in minutes!

Simply open a can of Propper Starter™, pour it into your flask along with 16 oz of bottled or distilled water, then add your yeast. It's that simple!
