• Typical wheat beer ester profile: banana with slight clove spice

• Medium-to-high flocculation for smoother appearance

• High attenuation (80–91%) for balanced mouthfeel

• Quick fermentation: finished in ~96 hours at 18 °C (64 °F)

• Temperature range: 59–77 °F (15–25 °C), ideal at 64–72 °F (18–22 °C)

• Alcohol tolerance up to 10% ABV

Fermentation Range:
59–77°F (15–25°C)
Recommended for best flavor expression: 64–72°F (18–22°C)

Usage Rate:
0.5 g/L (50 g/hL); increase to 1.0–3.0 g/L (100–300 g/hL) for high-gravity or more robust fermentations

Rehydration Instructions:
Rehydrate in 5–10× its weight of clean water or diluted wort at 72–86 °F (22–30 °C) for 10–20 minutes. Temper to pitching temperature and pitch within 30 minutes to preserve yeast viability.
