Florida Weisse is a modern take on the traditional Berliner Weisse, delivering bright acidity and high drinkability. The base beer is lightly bready and wheat-forward, with clean lactic tartness created through kettle souring.

Optional fruit additions allow brewers to customize flavor and color, ranging from tropical and juicy to crisp and unfruited, while keeping the beer refreshing and balanced.

This 5-gallon recipe kit includes all the ingredients needed to brew Florida Weisse at home:

  • 5 lb Bavarian Wheat Dry Malt Extract
  • Tettnang (Bittering) Hop Packet
  • Lactic Acid Bacteria
  • Carapils & Flaked Wheat Steeping Grains
  • Grain Steeping Bag
  • Brewing & Kettle Souring Instruction Sheet
  • Your choice of yeast (dry yeast, liquid yeast, or no yeast if you have your own)

Note: Brewing equipment is not included. This kit is designed for brewers who already own a 5-gallon brewing setup.

Brewing your Florida Weisse follows a kettle-soured wheat beer brewing process:

  • Brew: Steep specialty grains, boil the wort, and prepare for kettle souring
  • Ferment: Sour the wort using lactic acid bacteria, then ferment with ale yeast
  • Optional Step: Add fruit during fermentation to customize flavor and color
  • Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks

Clear instructions guide you through kettle souring and optional fruit additions to help you dial in the level of tartness and fruit character you prefer.

This recipe kit is ideal for:

  • Brewers with 5-gallon brewing equipment
  • Fans of tart, refreshing sour beers
  • Homebrewers interested in learning kettle souring techniques
  • Drinkers who enjoy bright, fruit-forward beers

Because it’s brewed in larger volume, this kit is perfect for experimenting with fruit additions and sharing a vibrant sour beer with friends.
