Frequently asked questions about LalBrew Wit
How many packs do I need for 20 litres?
Lallemand recommends 50–100 g per hectolitre. For 20 litres that is 10–20 g, i.e. one to two 11 g packs.
Does LalBrew Wit give a lot of banana and clove?
It gives a base profile of banana and spice, but lower levels of esters and phenols than traditional hefeweizen yeast. That makes it a good choice when you want to add your own spices.
What temperature should it ferment at?
Lallemand specifies 17–25 °C. Keep the temperature stable throughout fermentation.
Do I need to rehydrate the yeast?
Rehydration is debated, but dry yeast benefits from it. Follow the instructions in the Lallemand data sheet.
