  • White Labs WLP300 Hefewizen Ale

    White Labs WLP300 Hefewizen Ale

    This famous German yeast is a strain used in the production of traditional, authentic wheat beers. It produces the banana and clove nose traditionally associated with German wheat beers and leaves the desired cloudy look of traditional German wheat beers.

Notes

Wanted to use 6 lbs Moravian, but I took all the brew shop owner had left. Single step infusion mash at 150 for 60 minutes. Batch sparge reduced mash efficiency. Fermented at room temp, about 70 degrees.

Everybody who tried this liked it. The rye adds a bit of interesting spicyness. I might add a half pound of German Munich in the next batch for additional malt complexity.
