Makes 5 gallons of tropical wheat beer
All-grain recipe designed for brewers with an all-grain system
Ready to drink in about 4 weeks
American wheat style with real fruit puree for a bright, tropical twist
Driest, and the fruit stays bright
The passionfruit, orange and guava puree brings its own fermentable sugar, so the beer keeps drying out after it goes in. US-05 chases it all the way down, further than anything else here, leaving the fruit as bright aroma over a clean finish.
Ferment at 64-79°F
Attenuation 78-82%
Flocculation Medium
Clean and neutral
The puree does the talking
Flagship contributes almost nothing, which is what you want when tropical fruit puree is the headline. It leaves a comfortable body under the fruit and ferments happily in a warm room.
Ferment at 60-72°F
Attenuation 73-77%
Flocculation Low-Medium
Extremely clean
Juicy on top of juicy
Passionfruit, orange and guava puree meeting a strain that amplifies fruit aroma gives you the loudest version of this beer by some distance. It stays soft and hazy throughout. A thirsty, vigorous fermenter that climbs hard early on.
Ferment at 64-74°F
Attenuation 72-76%
Flocculation Medium
Juicy and hazy
Soft and rounded under the fruit
1318 leaves a gentle sweetness behind, which is what carries the puree and keeps a light wheat beer feeling full. It balances the Citra nicely too.

How the Brewing Process Works
Brewing your Summer Slammer Wheat P.O.G. follows a standard wheat beer process with a fruit addition during fermentation:
Mash: Convert grain starches into fermentable sugars with a light, dry mash profile.
Sparge: Rinse the grains to collect sweet wort.
Boil: Add Citra hops for light bittering and tropical citrus aroma.
Ferment: Add P.O.G. puree during fermentation for bold tropical fruit character. Ferment with wheat ale yeast until clean and fully attenuated.
Enjoy: Ready to drink in about 4 weeks from brew day to glass.
This all-grain wheat beer delivers bright tropical fruit flavor and a smooth, refreshing finish perfect for summer sessions.
New to Liquid Yeast?
Liquid yeast can deliver excellent fermentation performance and a wider range of strain options, but it’s a living, perishable product that requires a little extra care.
Liquid yeast may arrive warm. Ice packs help reduce heat exposure but do not guarantee cold arrival.
Refrigerate it when received and plan to brew as soon as possible.
We recommend adding an insulated mailer + ice pack to liquid yeast orders.
During May–September, dry yeast is strongly recommended due to higher shipping temperatures.
Liquid yeast is final sale and cannot be replaced due to heat exposure during transit.
