Description

A traditional top-fermenting yeast that has a good balance between fruity esters and warming spice phenolics. The yeast will leave some sweetness and will drop bright if left long enough.

Flavour/Aroma

Belgian Wit yeast presents a very light spice with a hint of bubble-gum character. This yeast works exceptionally well with botanics. This yeast has a slightly suppressed Belgian character presenting as phenolic and dry, fruity and very complex. The mouthfeel is smooth, light, dry and crisp.

Usage

Sprinkle contents directly onto a maximum of 23 L (6 US Gal) of wort.
