The US release of this highly-anticipated dry yeast selected for wheat beer fermentations. WB-06 yeast provides fruity and phenolic character, varying with the fermentation conditions. Produces well-attenuated beers and it is ideal for wheat base beers, such as Belgian and German Styles (Ex. Wit Beers and Weizen Beers). Produces typical phenolic notes of wheat beers. Allows to brew beer with a high drinkability profile and presents a very good ability to suspend during fermentation.

This dry wheat beer yeast is a specialty yeast selected for wheat beer fermentation. The yeast claims to produce subtle ester and phenol flavors notes typical of wheat beers. We find this yeast to produce a slightly smoother wheat beer than Danstar Munich (our item Y14). Sedimentation low, final gravity on the high side. Ideal temperature range: 59-75 degrees F.

Review by Alec A. on 3/9/2008

Pros: This produces a brew that is dry but not tart. It has a fair banana bubblegum mix with a definite overtone of clove. I would recommend this for use whenever you want to brew a hefe-weizen.

Cons: None really that I can think of, if pressed I would say I would like a bit more banana out of it.
