SafAle™ BW‑20

THE IDEAL WHEAT BEER YEAST FOR BELGIAN-STYLE WHITES

Specialty yeast designed for the production of wheat beers, in typical Belgian style, with fruity flavors and specific phenolic character (clove and peppery notes). This yeast strain was selected against the most famous Belgian wit beer yeasts as benchmark. Its less phenolic nature produces an aromatic but milder base beer, allowing for the expression of added ingredients, such as coriander or citrus peel. This strain doesn’t ferment all the maltotriose, giving extra mouthfeel to the beer. Medium sedimentation: forms no clumps but a powdery haze when resuspended in the beer.
