==Description==
Berliner Weisse is a top-fermented, bottle conditioned wheat beer made with both traditional warm-fermenting yeasts and lactobacillus culture. They have a rapidly vanishing head and a clear, pale golden straw-coloured appearance. The taste is refreshing, tart, sour and acidic, with a lemony-citric fruit sharpness and almost no hop bitterness.
Typical average alcohol by volume (abv) range: 2.0-5.0%
==General Best Practices==
* Don't sour mash. Its too risky for off flavors
* Limit CO2 and do not aerate before pitching
* Pitch [[Brettanomyces]] after cooling down after [[Lactobacillus]] fermentation phase
