I've brewed this kit on several occasions and each time I vow "never again" but it's one of the few 3kg wheat beer kits. I brew it for bottling, making the kit up to 36 pints (my store cupboard shelves are 6 bottles by 6 bottles) and prime the bottles with light spraymalt. It always comes out very tart, even after being left for months. I notice somewhere else someone says that it's an acquired taste but, to be frank, it's not a taste I want to acquire. Other wheat beers I've brewed from 1.8kg kits with wheat spraymalt have some tartness but nowhere near to that degree. I've drunk proprietary brand wheat beers in Germany, mainly Schneider and Maisels and they don't have that tartness.
Has anybody any observations to make on this?
As an aside, a friend of mine and I hired a campervan in Frankfurt in May and toured the breweries of Schweizer Franconia. Photos can be found at:-
