Berliner Style Weisse Beer Recipe

by Valeria - Beets 'n Bones blog

berliner-weisse-recipe Sour, tart and fruity. It can be a bit tricky to achieve the clean lactic sourness that this beer is known for. The key is to let the lactobacillus get a head start in souring the wort and keep the IBUs low.  Traditionally served “Mit Schuss” (with a shot of sweet raspberry or woodruff syrup).
