Our dried Hefeweisen strain, unlike other wheat/hefe strains on the market this is non diastatic. Produces high amounts of isoamyl acetate which is perceived as a banana flavour balanced with less dominant aromatics of apple, clove and plum. The esters are more dominant at high temperature and at lower pitches. Leaves a crisp finish, raising the temperature can increase banana flavour.

Origin: Weihenstephan

This is a top cropping ale yeast, that produces a thick krausen. Use of antifoam and/or leaving more head space would be recommended.
