Dry Wheat Beer Yeast

The SafAle™ WB-06 is a Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus and is characterized by a particularly high attenuation.
This typical yeast strain is recommended for wheat beer fermentations and produces subtle estery and phenol flavor notes (POF+) such as clove notes typical of wheat beers. Allows to brew beer with a high drinkability profile and presents a very good ability to suspend during fermentation

Fermentis dry brewing yeasts are well known for their ability to produce a large variety of beer styles.

In order to compare strains, Fermentis ran fermentation trials in laboratory conditions with a standard wort for all the strains and standard temperature conditions (SafLager: 12°C for 48h then 14°C / SafAle: 20°C). We focused on the following parameters: Alcohol production, residual sugars, flocculation and fermentation kinetic. 

Given the impact of yeast of the quality of the final beer it is recommended to respect the recommended fermentation instructions. We strongly advise users to make fermentation trials before any commercial usage of our products.

Temperature Range: 12-25°C Ideally: 18-24°C

Shelf Life
Refer to best before end date printed on the sachet.
Opened sachets must be sealed and stored at 4°C (39°F) and used within 7 days of opening.
Do not use soft or damaged sachets.

To ensure a healthy fermentation it is a good idea to incorporate some yeast nutrient in your brewing. You can purchase some here.

The benefits of using yeast nutrient are described in the pdf and video below:
