- Ferment between 59-77°F
- Pressure-Ready Performs great under pressure up to 12 PSI
HEFE is a top-fermenting dry yeast, crafted specifically for wheat beers. It produces the hallmark banana and clove aromas expected in traditional Hefeweizen styles, with a clean, smooth finish and excellent drinkability. HEFE produces bright, refreshing wheat beers with pronounced banana notes (isoamyl acetate) at the higher end of its temperature range. Subtle clove character (4-vinyl guaiacol) at the lower end. Expect a smooth body and a persistent, signature haze. For brewers using pressure-capable fermenters, HEFE performs great up to 12 PSI, allowing warmer, faster fermentations while dialing back its classic banana and clove expression for a noticeably cleaner profile.
- Fermentation Temperature: 59-77°F (15-25°C), optimal range 64-72°F (18-22°C)
- Attenuation: 80–91%
- Alcohol Tolerance: Up to 10% ABV
- Flocculation: Low
- Direct Pitch: No rehydration needed
- Reliable & Consistent: Every batch undergoes PCR testing for quality control
- High Cell Count: 15g per sachet (over 36% more than standard 11g dry yeast packs)
Dosage:
One sachet is enough to treat a 5–6 gallon batch. When calculating for larger batches, use at a rate of 2–3 grams per gallon of wort. We recommend rounding up by one full sachet rather than measuring out the yeast exactly.
Like all CellarScience yeasts, HEFE offers professional-grade performance for both homebrewers and craft brewers, delivering exceptional quality at an unbeatable value.
