White Labs WLP320 American Hefeweizen Ale
White Labs WLP320 American Hefeweizen Ale
This yeast is used to produce the Oregon style American Hefeweizen. Unlike WLP300, this yeast produces a very slight amount of the banana and clove notes. It produces some sulfur, but is otherwise a clean fermenting yeast, which does not flocculate well,

Got what I wanted and that was a close comparison to Widmer Hef. Most of the people that tried it could not beleive that I made it. So good that I am making it again!
