Availability: | In stock (3) |
Description
LalBrew Wit is a relatively neutral wheat beer strain which can be used to produce a wide variety of wheat beer styles. LalBrew Wit produces lower levels of esters and phenols compared to traditional hefeweizen strains such as LalBrew 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 beers. Traditional styles brewed with this yeast include but are not limited to Belgian Witbier, American Wheat, berliner weisse, gose, hefeweizen, dunkelweis, and weizenbock.
- Yeast Strain: Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Dry pitching is the preferred method of inoculating wort. This method is simpler than rehydration and will give more consistent fermentation performance and reduce the risk of contamination. Simply sprinkle the yeast evenly on the surface of the wort in the fermenter as it is being filled. The motion of the wort filling the fermenter will aid in mixing the yeast into the wort.
