I decided to pick up a new hobby recently, Brewing. I ordered some basic kit items from NorthernBrewer. Mostly 1 Gallon kits and supplies, just so I can get the feel for things and not get stuck with a brew I don’t like. I started things off with the kit I had that had the least amount of steps to it;

Bavarian Hefeweizen kit from Northern Brewer

This kit included;

• Fermenters Favorites Briess Bavarian Wheat Dried malt extract 1lb.
• Safale US-05 Dry Ale Yease 11.5g.
• German Perle Hop Pellets 3.5g. (Alpha Acid 7.1%)

Brewed: 2/17/2014:

The directions were pretty strait forward. I brought 1.25Gallon of water to a boil. Stired in the wheat malt, continued to boil for 15 minutes, added hops, let boil for another 30 minutes. Cooled to 70 degrees. Used auto-syphon to transfer wort to fermenting jug, added yeast and air-lock. Placed in utility sink in case of overflow.
