Craft Clean and Refreshing American Wheat Beers
White Labs American Hefeweizen Ale Yeast (WLP320) is a versatile strain ideal for brewing American-style wheat beers. It ferments cleaner than traditional hefeweizen strains, producing only slight banana and clove notes. This yeast's low flocculation results in the characteristic cloudiness of wheat beers, while its high alcohol tolerance (10–15%) makes it suitable for a range of beer strengths.
