Description
Belgian Wheat Beer is traditionally considered to be a summer drink. It is usually consumed as an aperitif with a slice of orange or lemon.
Service:
Glass: Pint Beer Chalice
Temperature: 4-8 °C
BREWER`S TIP
For better filtration, add 1-2% Rice hulls.
To promote a good banana aroma, under pitch slightly (0.5g/L), low or no aeration, no head pressure, and ferment at high temperatures (22-26 °C).
To promote clove-like aroma, as WB-06 is a POF+ yeast strain, do the opposite. And to boost it, do a ferulic acid rest in the mashing.

Step 3: Fermentation and Maturation
Cool down the wort to 20°C and pitch the yeast.
Ferment at 20°C for 2 days then rise to 24°C. Once the fermentation is done (FG reached and off-flavors removed – about 7 days), drop the temperature to 8°C and rest for 1 day, and then harvest the yeast. Drop the temperature to 2°C and rest for 7 days.
Step 4: Cold Aging and Packaging
Cold age the beer at 0°C for 5 days, remove the residual yeast, and carbonate until 3.0 volumes of CO2. The beer is ready to package and drink. Enjoy!
