Description
LalBrew® Wit formerly known as Munich Wheat Beer yeast is a relatively neutral strain which can be used to produce a wide variety of wheat beer styles. Ester and phenol production is lower than for traditional hefeweizen strains such as Munich Classic. LalBrew® Wit provides a baseline profile of banana and spice aromas, but leaves space for the brewer to showcase other spice additions typical of Belgian style beers.

Direct Pitching:
Pitch the yeast directly in the fermentation vessel on the surface of the wort at or above the fermentation temperature.
Rehydrate:
Sprinkle the yeast in a minimum of 10 times its weight of sterile water (we suggest 110ml) at 30 to 35 °C. Stir gently, leave to rest for 15 minutes, then stir to suspend yeast completely. Leave it to rest for 5 minutes at 30 to 35°C, and pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel.
