LalBrew® Wit yeast is a relatively neutral strain which can be used to produce a wide variety of wheat beer styles. Ester and phenol production is lower than for traditional hefeweizen strains such as Munich Classic. LalBrew® Wit provides a baseline profile of banana and spice aromas, but leaves space for the brewer to showcase other spice additions typical of Belgian-style wheat beers.

Traditional styles brewed with this yeast include but are not limited to:

Belgian Witbier
American Wheat
Berliner Weiss
Gose
Hefeweizen
Dunkelweis
Weizenbock

15 - 22°C (59 - 72°F)
