Product Overview
WLP380 Hefeweizen IV Ale Yeast (PurePitch Next Generation)
This strain produces a balance of phenolics and esters. Nutmeg, clove, and spice are more dominant than the banana and bubble gum aroma. Pitching rate and temperature will dramatically affect the flavor and aroma of this strain. Traditional brewing techniques suggest underpitching to produce more classic characteristics of the style. This strain has low flocculation and minor sulfur production.
PurePitch® Next Generation combines the ease of the vial and the innovation of PurePitch®, offering a pouch with a cap and double the pitch at 7.5 million cells/ mL; a commercially recommended pitching rate allowing you to pitch like the pros. No need for starters!
