Munich

German Weizen

Ready to Ship Distilling fit

Munich is the traditional German Weihenstephan strain that produces world-class weizen beers with signature banana ester and clove phenolic character. Temperature control is the key to balancing these flavours: lower temperatures (17-19C) emphasise clove, while warmer fermentations (20-24C) push banana character forward. Slightly underpitching can enhance banana esters further. Munich also creates a slightly higher level of acidity that gives wheat beers a crisp, refreshing finish. Low flocculation maintains the characteristic hazy presentation expected of the style.
