BrewTek CL-980 American White Ale
BrewTek CL-980 American White Ale
A smooth, American style wheat beer yeast with an exceptionally round, clean malt flavor. The low flocculation of this yeast leaves a cloudy "Hefe-Weizen" yet it's smooth flavor makes it an integral part of a true unfiltered wheat beer.
Notes
Dry hopping with a Williamette or a Cascade here would provide a nice bouquet, but it not really necessary
