Wyeast 3944 Belgian Witbier Yeast

Wyeast 3944 Belgian witbier yeast is a versatile witbier strain that can be used in a variety of Belgian style ales. This strain produces a complex flavour profile dominated by spicy phenolics with low to moderate ester production. It is a great strain choice when you want a delicate clove profile not to be overshadowed by esters. It will ferment fairly dry with a slightly tart finish that compliments the use of oats, malted and unmalted wheat. This strain is a true top cropping yeast requiring full fermenter headspace of 33%.
