Depends on the yeast but 20C is a safe bet. If it was a can kit yeast then 18C might be better.

thanks for that ,using a yeast from h/brew shop that they say is a wheat yeast

Yeah 20C is your best bet then, best of luck with it!

thanks i,m looking for a different taste and different beer

You will be pleased, this is my personal favorite

If I may ask what exactly are you going to be doing for this brew?

I am aiming at 24C. I think it would make it fruitier which suit wheat beer.

well i am going to use

can of cheap brewiser wheat beer ($5) big w
wheat beer kit from h/b shop(500gm wheat malt)
(400gm dextros )
(100gm corn syrup)
and add 100gm lme
and extra 100gm corn syrup
and wheat yeast from h/b shop
and never having made it before am hoping i do it right

Looks good, dextrose isn't right for this style but that amount should not be greatly noticed. Best of luck

thanks
what would recommend keeping in mind the kit has not been used yet

Depends how much you like wheat beers, personally if I wasn't going to mash grains I would ditch the dextrose and second addition of corn syrup. I would use 500g of LLME rather than 100g or just go the full kilo of wheat malt. The brewiser kit is a majority of wheat malt but no one knows how much is really in there, so the full kilo might be a bit of overkill for you I don't know.

If it were me doing the brew I would go as follows (provided I was not doing a mash)

Brewiser kit
1 KG wheat malt
100g maltodextrine
wheat yeast

20g Tettnang @60 min
10g Saaz @10 min
10g Goldings dry hop for the last 3 days
15 grams Sweet Orange zest (mandarine fresh skin zest only!) @5min
30g corriander @5min

I would use a 4L boil and half of the wheat malt, add the remaning ingredients at flame out, top up with cold water and pitch yeast @25C.

I will be doing a very similar recipe tomorrow with the same Brewiser kit but I will mash grains rather than use the malt extract and corn syrup.
