LalBrew - Wit Belgian x 11g

Lallemand is no longer manufacturing Wit Belgian in 11g homebrew pack sizes. An alternative yeast to use would be ->KL13611 LalBrew Premium Series - Munich Classic Yeast x 11g

LalBrew Wit yeast is a relatively neutral strain which can be used to produce a wide variety of wheat beer styles. Ester and phenol production is lower than for traditional hefeweizen strains such as Munich Classic. LalBrew Wit provides a baseline profile of banana and spice aromas, but leaves space for the brewer to showcase other spice additions typical of Belgian style beers. Traditional styles brewed with this yeast include but are not limited to Belgian Witbier, American Wheat, Berliner Weiss, Gose, Hefeweizen, Dunkelweis, and Weizenbock .

Vigorous fermentation that can be completed in 4 days

Medium to High attenuation and Low flocculation

The optimal temperature range for LalBrew® Wit yeast when producing traditional styles is 17°C(63°F) to 22°C(72°F)
Fermentation rate, fermentation time and degree of attenuation are dependent on inoculation density, yeast handling, fermentation temperature and nutritional quality of the wort.

To ensure a healthy fermentation it is a good idea to incorporate some yeast nutrient in your brewing. You can purchase some here.
