I'm planning on doing an all extract hefeweizen soon (100% wheat extract with wlp300) as it seems a great candidate for an easy all extract brew.
Has anyone had any experience doing something similar? What extract would you recommend? Dry/liquid, which brand?
I'm drawn to the briess wheat lme as I hear it's good quality but less easy to get hold of and lme in general is more expensive, would I get as good results just using some wheat spraymalt?

Extract for hefeweizen
Re: Extract for hefeweizen
Long time reader. Thought I would participate for this question. The Bavarian Hefeweizen is one of my favorite brews. My preference for yeast is WY 3068. I pitch high and ferment low to enhance the clove flavor over the banana. This is a link to the all extract Hefe I brew.

I used WB-06 the last time I brewed. I may have under pitched and definitely under carbed. Just didn't have the flavors when fermented with WY 3068.

Re: Extract for hefeweizen
I've made an extract hefeweizen in the past several times with wheat dme/spraymalt. Turned out great, can't remember the brand of DME I used, maybe Youngs?
I used WLP300 the 2nd time, but the 1st time I used Danstar Munich dried yeast - think I actually preferred this.
