Product Overview
APEX Cultures Hefe German Wheat Ale Dry Yeast - 500 gram
A classic German wheat beer yeast, ideal for brewing Hefeweizen, Kristal Weizen, Dunkel Weizen, Weizenbock, and other wheat-based styles. It delivers a balanced profile of banana esters and clove, pepper, and nutmeg phenolics. Fermenting at higher temperatures with lower pitching rates enhances banana notes, while cooler fermentation and higher aeration promote spicy phenolics.
