Description

Belgian Wit-Style Ale Yeast is a specialized strain of yeast used in brewing Belgian-style Witbier, a traditional Belgian wheat beer. This yeast is crucial to achieving the distinctive characteristics of this beer style, known for its refreshing and complex flavor profile.

Key Characteristics of Belgian Wit-Style Ale Yeast:

  1. Flavor Contribution:

    • Produces fruity esters such as citrus, orange, or slight banana notes.
    • Generates phenolic compounds that lend subtle spicy flavors, like clove or pepper.
    • Can enhance the beer's characteristic tartness.
  2. Fermentation Behavior:

    • Often ferments at warmer temperatures (18–24°C or 64–75°F), which enhances the production of esters and phenolics.
    • Has a medium attenuation, leaving a touch of residual sweetness to balance the beer's flavors.
    • Moderate to high flocculation, meaning it settles out somewhat slowly, contributing to the beer’s cloudy appearance.
  3. Beer Style:

    • Belgian Witbier is typically brewed with unmalted wheat, pale barley malt, and often oats, creating a creamy body.
    • Commonly spiced with coriander and orange peel, which the yeast complements and enhances.
    • The yeast works in harmony with these ingredients to produce a beer with a light, hazy, and refreshing profile.

Tips for Using Belgian Wit-Style Ale Yeast:

  • Use it in recipes with a high proportion of wheat and adjuncts for traditional Witbier.
  • Experiment with fermentation temperatures to dial in desired levels of fruity and spicy flavors.
  • Allow sufficient time for the yeast to complete fermentation and conditioning for optimal flavor development.
