LalBrew® Belgian Wit Yeast | Lallemand 11g Sachet

Ideal Yeast for Versatile Wheat Beers

LalBrew® Wit is a relatively neutral wheat beer strain, perfect for brewing a wide variety of wheat beer styles. It produces lower levels of esters and phenols compared to traditional hefeweizen strains like LalBrew Munich Classic™, providing a baseline profile of banana and spice aromas. This subtle character allows brewers to showcase additional spice additions typical of Belgian-style beers. Traditional styles brewed with this yeast include Belgian Witbier, American Wheat, Berliner Weisse, Gose, Hefeweizen, Dunkelweiss, and Weizenbock.

This 11g sachet is designed to ferment up to 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort, making it ideal for homebrewers.

Our Commitment to Yeast Health

At SoCal Brewing Supply, we take yeast storage and viability very seriously (Yes, even Dry yeasts). We ensure yeast is always stored under optimal conditions, with 24-hour monitoring of refrigerator temperatures to prevent spikes that could negatively impact yeast health.

For Dry yeast shipments, we offer ice packs and insulated envelopes as an optional add-on for customers looking for extra protection during hotter months. It’s normal for ice packs to melt during transit; their purpose is to protect the yeast from extreme temperatures caused by external weather conditions.
