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
Mash at 152F for one hour. Boil for a total of 75 minutes. Chill and pitch a quart yeast starter. Ferment for five days, crash temp on the sixth, and keg and force carb on the seventh.

Had to brew this one fast for a club meeting. Pitched the yeast starter at one PM on brewday, and by six PM it had a full krausen going. Starters are the only way to go if you truly want a fast, strong fermentation. Very easy, light, refreshing beer.
Excellent!

I made a variation of your recipe using Saaz, and WLP320 American Hefeweizen Ale. In the primary for only 8 days, kegged for 3 and in my glass. Excellent quick wheat! Thanks for a great idea, and a great beer!
Thanks!
