Fermentis SafAle™ WB-06 10kg

SafAle™ WB‑06 is a top‑fermenting yeast specially selected for producing aromatic wheat beers. It develops a typical phenolic profile with notes of clove, banana and spices, characteristic of Weissbier, Weizen, Witbier and related styles.

With an attenuation of 86–90% and low to medium sedimentation, it produces expressive, slightly hazy beers with a silky texture and a pronounced aromatic character. It is suitable for both traditional German wheat beers and more modern fruity interpretations.
