The go-to brewing yeast strain for wit beers. Whiteout produces an excellent balance of spicy phenolic character and esters. Along with the necessary aromatics, this strain produces a significant amount of acidity which is perfect for wits and other light colored Belgian ales. Whiteout can be a strong top-cropper during early fermentation, then settle back down through the beer in the latter stages. This may lead to slower than normal fermentation.
