Omega Yeast OYL-021 - Hefeweizen Ale

Great Yeast

I have been using this yeast with my Hefeweizen recipe for a few years. Results are always great.

Funky to improving

I brewed a batch of Dunkelweizen with this yeast. A vigorous fermentation started quickly and by morning I had a wonderful fermentation blowout going on. Good fast acting yeast! Because it is a wheat beer I kegged it young and after several days of chilled, forced carbonation I started serving it. There was still quite a lot of diacetyl smell and taste. However, now after several weeks in the kegerator, with only occasional pours the taste is improving greatly. The banana clove taste comes through mostly when the beer has warmed in the glass for awhile, and there is no head left.

Brings back good memories

I spent 3 years in the Army in southern Bavaria...i loved the wheat beir ....when i poured that first bottle and sipped it.....OMG....lots of great times remembered.....i love this
