Specialty yeast selected for the production of aromatic beers with typical phenolic character (clove and peppery notes) and rich in fruity and floral flavors.

This yeast\u00a0offers medium attenuation, a moderate phenolic flavor, and prominent banana and tutti fruti notes.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SKgIL0MAo10?si=UUBopiZkDNxfnhZL\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>These characteristics make SafAle W-68\u2122 ideal for traditional aromatic German style wheat beers with typical phenolic (clovy) character and rich in fruity and banana notes.<\/p>\n<p>W-68 has a medium sedimentation: forms no clumps but a powdery haze when re suspended in the beer.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>What distinguishes German and Belgian wheat beers?<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Both beer styles share the common characteristic of being brewed with wheat, a difference from the usual barley malt. However, they differ significantly beyond this shared trait. \u00a0German Weizen, or Weissen, are generally limited to only a few selected ingredients: malt, wheat, hops, yeast, and water. These beers typically contain 40% malted wheat, although this ratio can extend up to 70%.<\/p>\n<p>German Weizens adhere to these standards, which exclude the addition of extra spices.<\/p>\n<p>Belgian Witbier, in contrast, relies on a lower percentage (not exceeding 40%) of unmalted wheat. The uniqueness of Belgian Witbier comes from the use of added spices like coriander, lavender, or orange zest or peels. Coupled with a less phenolic yeast, the base beer tends to be milder, serving as a canvas for the infusion of additional ingredients.<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Fermentis yeast for wheat beer<\/strong><\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>SafAle\u2122 WB-06 this versatile yeast strain \u00a0is suitable for both German and Belgian style wheat beers, often producing highly attenuated, dry beers with a touch of acidity and crispness.<\/li>\n<li>SafAle\u2122 BW-20. The ideal wheat beer yeast for Belgian-style whites. Specialty yeast selected for the production of wheat beers having neutral fruity flavors with specific phenolic character (clove and peppery notes).<\/li>\n<li>SafAle W-68\u2122. A historical yeast for German-style wheat beers. Suitable for a great variety of wheat-base beers and fruity-spicy oriented styles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Please note that this is a simplified overview from Fermentis of their yeast strains for wheat-based beers, and they encourage brewers to experiment, as any of the three strains can be used to create exceptional Belgian, German, or other unique wheat beer styles.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Specialty yeast selected for the production of aromatic beers with typical phenolic character (clove and peppery notes) and rich in fruity and floral flavors.
