CellarScience HEFE Wheat Ale Yeast x 15g is a classic dry wheat ale yeast crafted for brewers who want authentic German-style wheat beer character. It produces the signature banana and clove aroma profile expected in traditional Hefeweizen, while also supporting a smooth body, refreshing finish, and persistent haze.

Classic Hefeweizen Yeast Character

Traditional wheat beers rely heavily on yeast character. Therefore, choosing the right strain makes a major difference to the final beer. CellarScience HEFE Wheat Ale Yeast x 15g is designed to create the familiar balance of fruity banana notes and spicy clove character that defines classic Hefeweizen.

At warmer fermentation temperatures, HEFE can produce more pronounced banana-like isoamyl acetate. At the lower end of the recommended fermentation range, it can highlight more subtle clove-like 4-vinyl guaiacol character. As a result, brewers can adjust fermentation conditions to guide the final flavour balance.

Smooth Body and Signature Haze

A great wheat beer should feel soft, smooth, and highly drinkable. CellarScience HEFE Wheat Ale Yeast x 15g helps create a rounded mouthfeel with the cloudy appearance expected in German wheat beer styles.

Because this strain has low flocculation, it remains suspended more readily than highly flocculent ale yeasts. This helps support the persistent haze that many brewers want in Hefeweizen, wheat ales, and other yeast-forward wheat beer styles.

Ideal for Wheat Beers

CellarScience HEFE Wheat Ale Yeast x 15g is ideal for brewing traditional Hefeweizen, wheat ales, and other styles where expressive yeast character is important. It is a strong choice for brewers who want bright aroma, balanced flavour, and classic wheat beer drinkability.

In addition, this dry yeast format makes brewing easier and more convenient. It offers a practical option for home brewers who want reliable wheat beer fermentation without the handling requirements of liquid yeast.

Whether you are brewing a classic German Hefeweizen, a refreshing wheat ale, or a yeast-driven summer beer, CellarScience HEFE Wheat Ale Yeast x 15g delivers the flavour and texture needed for an authentic result.

Flavour and Aroma Profile

Banana Notes

At the higher end of the optimal fermentation range, HEFE can produce more pronounced banana-style aroma from isoamyl acetate. This gives the beer a fruity and classic Hefeweizen character.

Clove Notes

At the lower end of the optimal fermentation range, HEFE can encourage more subtle clove-style aroma from 4-vinyl guaiacol. This adds gentle spice and traditional wheat beer complexity.

Smooth Wheat Beer Texture

This yeast supports a smooth body, refreshing drinkability, and the soft mouthfeel expected in classic wheat beer styles.

Persistent Haze

Low flocculation helps maintain the signature haze associated with Hefeweizen and other wheat beers.

Fermentation Notes

For best results, ferment within the yeast supplier’s recommended temperature range. Lower temperatures may help highlight clove character, while warmer temperatures may increase banana-style aroma.

Always follow your recipe, sanitation process, and fermentation temperature control plan for the best result.
