🌾 HEFE: The Classic Hefeweizen Yeast for Banana and Clove Notes
HEFE is a top-fermenting dry yeast crafted specifically for wheat beers. It produces the hallmark banana (isoamyl acetate) and clove (4-vinyl guaiacol) aromas expected in traditional Hefeweizen styles, delivering a clean, smooth body, persistent haze, and excellent drinkability. With a high cell count and low flocculation, HEFE is your choice for authentic German wheat beer.
🍌 Styles & Flavour Profile: Smooth Body and Signature Haze
HEFE’s fermentation characteristics are tailored to showcase the quintessential flavours of German Hefeweizen. It produces bright, refreshing wheat beers with excellent drinkability and a distinct flavour balance that shifts with temperature.
Traditional Flavour Balance and Texture
- Banana Notes: Pronounced isoamyl acetate is generated at the higher end of the optimal fermentation range.
- Clove Notes: Subtle 4-vinyl guaiacol character is produced at the lower end of the optimal temperature range.
- Texture: Expect a smooth body and a persistent, signature haze characteristic of the style.
Ideal for Brewing
HEFE is perfect for creating classic wheat beer styles:
- Traditional Hefeweizen
- Wheat Ales
🔬 Performance & Technical Specifications
HEFE is designed for efficient, reliable fermentation across a useful temperature range, ensuring consistency and quality control in every batch.
Fermentation & Pitching Details
- Fermentation Range: 18-22°C (64-72°F) is the optimal range; the full functional range is 15-25°C (64-72°F)
- Direct Pitching: Designed to be sprinkled directly onto the surface of your wort with no pre-oxygenation or rehydration required before pitching.
- Attenuation: High attenuation rate of 80–91%.Alcohol Tolerance: Robust tolerance up to 10% ABV.
- Flocculation: Low, contributing directly to the persistent haze.
Packaging & Dosage
HEFE bricks are designed to provide maximum cell count for superior pitching rates and reliable fermentation every time.
Calculation for Larger Batches
- Use at a rate of 0.5-1g per Liter (approx. 50-100 g/hL).
- A 500g brick treats 5-10hL / 4.3-8.5 bbl
- Use upper range for stronger clove expression or higher gravity wheat beers
