Safale WB-06 Wheat Beer/Weizen Brewing Yeast
By Fermentis
The Safale WB-06 yeast is best suited for German-style Weizens, Wheat Beers and Belgian Ales. It produces a subtle fruity character and a spicy phenolic flavor that is characteristic of these beer styles.
Ingredients: Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), rehydrating agent
Weight: 0.4oz (11.5g)
Specifications:
Sedimentation: Low
Final gravity: High
Dosage: 50 g/hl to 80 g/hl in primary fermentation.
Fermentation Temperature: Recommended fermentation temperature: 15C – 24C (59-75F)
Pitching instructions:
Re-hydrate the dry yeast into yeast cream in a stirred vessel prior to pitching. Sprinkle the dry yeast in 10 times its own weight of sterile water or wort at 27C ± 3C (80F ± 6F). Once the expected weight of dry yeast is reconstituted into cream by this method (this takes about 15 to 30 minutes), maintain a gentle stirring for another 30 minutes. Then pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel. Alternatively, pitch dry yeast directly in the fermentation vessel providing the temperature of the wort is above 20C (68F). Progressively sprinkle the dry yeast into the wort ensuring the yeast covers all the surface of wort available in order to avoid clumps. Leave for 30 minutes and then mix the wort e.g. using aeration.
Storage: Store in cool (< 10C/50F), dry conditions. Opened sachets must be sealed and stored at 4C (39F) and used within 7 days of opening. Do not use soft or damaged sachets.
Shelf life: Refer to best before end date on sachets. 24 months from production date under recommended storage conditions.
