Miami Weiss

Miami Weiss is claimed to be a traditional Germenn Hefeweizen or Weissbier, with banana and clove aroma and flavour. How can this be? How could an ale with such a title be ‘traditional’ or ‘established’?


Certainly the beer appears to have been produced in accordance with the German Purity Laws, but Van Credenza feel a degree uneasy about these two terms, ‘German’ and ‘purity’ being juxtaposed. Don’t mention the war!


1. Steep your grains @ 155° for 30 min
2. Add 1# of extract, stir well
3. Bring to a rolling boil
4. Throw in your hops, set time for 50 min
5. At 50 min take off heat and stir in the rest of your extract
6. Bring back to boil and hold there for 10 min
7. Cool wort to 65-75° and add your yeast


Walt Weiss played ball for the Miami Merlins in the early 1990’s.
