WLP300-O Organic Hefeweizen Ale Yeast

WLP300-O Organic Hefeweizen Ale Yeast

This popular German strain is used in the production of traditional, authentic hefeweizen. It produces a high level of isoamyl acetate, giving the resulting beer notes of banana. With balanced phenol production, this strain produces notes of cloves, but remains banana forward. Low flocculation leaves the desired hazy look, appropriate for the German wheat beer style. Pitching speed and temperature will dramatically affect the flavour and aroma of this strain. Traditional brewing techniques suggest underpitching to produce more classic characteristics of the style.
