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,
