Wyeast Belgian Wit - 3944 is the yeast to use if you want a delicate clove profile that won't be overshadowed by esters. This strain produces a complex flavor profile dominated by spicy phenolics with low to moderate ester production. This versatile witbier yeast strain can be used in a variety of Belgian style ales such as Belgian Dubbel, Belgian Tripel, and Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer Witbier.
It finishes fairly dry with a slightly tart finish that compliments the use of oats, malted and unmalted wheat. This strain is a true top cropping yeast requiring full fermenter headspace of 33%.

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.
