Pack of 3 Fermentis SafAle WB 06 dry yeast sachets, a specialty ale strain formulated for authentic wheat beers.

Fermentis SafAle WB 06 is a specialty ale yeast designed for brewing true to style wheat beers. This strain is known for its ability to create the signature estery and phenolic character that defines many classic wheat beer styles, making it a favorite for both home and craft brewers.
WB 06 is a POF+ (phenolic off flavor positive) yeast that can produce:
Distinct clove like phenolic notes
Fruity esters that complement wheat based malt bills
A smooth and refreshing overall flavor profile
This character works especially well in:
German style hefeweizens
Belgian style witbiers
Other wheat forward ales where clove and fruit notes are desirable
The strain is highly attenuative, which helps:
Drive fermentations to a dry, crisp finish when desired
Highlight refreshing, drinkable qualities in wheat beers
Support a stable, hazy appearance that is typical of many unfiltered wheat styles
SafAle WB 06 also offers dependable performance across a broad fermentation temperature range. This flexibility is useful in homebrew setups and small breweries where ambient conditions may vary, but consistent results are still a priority.
Additional benefits include:
Good suspension properties for classic haze and mouthfeel
Consistent behavior from batch to batch when pitched and handled correctly
Compatibility with a wide range of wheat and adjunct grists
Typical uses:
Brewing traditional hefeweizen or other German inspired wheat ales
Creating Belgian style wheat beers with a blend of spice and citrus additions
Experimenting with fruit accented wheat beers where esters enhance added flavors
