Description

3056 is a proprietary blend of a top-fermenting neutral ale strain and a Bavarian wheat strain
A great choice when a subtle German style wheat beer is desired
Activator Smack-Pack System™ "proofs" the yeast and shortens lag time when it hits your wort
When smacked, the Activator™ packet releases sugars and nutrients to initiate the culture's metabolism
Wyeast has been a pioneer in craft brewing for over 35 years and is committed to creating the finest fermentation products available
Although beneficial, cultures do not need to be activated prior to inoculation

We brewed a batch with this yeast strain and entered it in to competition. The batch took both first and second place, one with lacto and one without. This provides a well balanced wheat beer. If the 3068 strain is a bit too much for you in the estery - ripe banana direction, then this should suite you nicely.

This proprietary blend of a top-fermenting neutral ale strain and a Bavarian wheat strain is a great choice when a subtle German style wheat beer is desired. The complex esters and phenolics from the wheat strain are nicely softened and balanced by the neutral ale strain.

Attenuation: 73-77%
Flocculation: Medium
Alcohol Tolerance: 10%
Optimum Fermentation Temp: 64-74°F
Cell Count: 100 Billion

Styles:
Dunkelweizen

For best results we always recommend ordering an ice pack with your liquid yeast.

Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold. We will not replace liquid yeast that arrives warm. During warmer months we strongly recommend you choose dry yeast.

I used this in an American all grain version of Hefeweizen, I made. It attenuated nicely at 65deg, and the esters were a little more subtle than typical German style Hefeweizen. Which gave my malts and slightly experimental use of hopping a chance to shine. My Dad and friends, who were stationed in Germany and drank Hefeweizen by the liter, said they may actually prefer this version. Recommended if you are looking to make a slight variation of a world class beer style.
