Whiteout is a great choice of yeast to use when making Belgian style Witbiers, giving you all the characteristics found in classic examples of the style. It produces a nice balance of spicy phenolics and fruity esters that work well in the style. Unique to this yeast strain is a high amount of acidity produced during fermentation, which pairs well with light colored Belgian ales and can accentuate citrus notes when using citrus fruit or skin in the brewing process. It works wonderfully in Belgian style ales in which oats or wheat are used. It can be a vigorous fermenter, so proper headspace in primary is recommended when using this true top-cropping strain.
ICE PACK INCLUDED
We include complimentary ice packs with ALL liquid yeast orders (if required), but cannot guarantee that the ice packs will stay cold during transit, and thus the yeast can potentially be exposed to hot temperatures. We highly recommend ordering dry yeast during the hot summer months or if you are ordering from a warmer climate. Many times during the winter an ice pack is not needed so we make the determination based on current temperatures and the destination!
