SafAle WB-06 (Wheat)

Classic Banana and Clove • Authentic Wheat Beer Character • Traditional Cloudy Pour SafAle WB-06 is a wheat beer strain prized for the signature banana and clove character that defines German-style weissbier. It delivers the expressive phenolic-and-fruity profile of a Bavarian wheat strain in a dry sachet, making authentic hefeweizen accessible on any brew day. With 84% attenuation and low flocculation, WB-06 ferments dry and refreshing while staying in suspension — producing the traditional cloudy pour and yeast-driven texture wheat beers are loved for. Flavor & Aroma Profile Ripe banana esters front and center Spicy clove phenolics in classic balance Soft wheat-bread maltiness Light citrus and bubblegum undertones Lively, refreshing character with persistent cloudiness Fermentation temperature steers the balance: cooler fermentations favor crisp clove spice, while warmer temperatures swing the profile toward bold banana fruit. The same sachet can produce two noticeably different wheat beers. Brewing ApplicationsSafAle WB-06 is a staple ingredient in many wheat-based styles, including: Hefeweizen Dunkelweizen Weizenbock Kristallweizen Belgian-Style Witbier American Wheat (expressive-style) It is also useful for adding fruity-spicy complexity to specialty beers built on large wheat portions. Usage RecommendationsPitch one 11.5 g sachet into 5 gallons of standard-gravity wort, fermenting at 64–75°F. Ferment near 64–66°F for a clove-forward, drier profile, or push to 70°F and above for banana-rich, fruit-forward weissbier. Skip the finings and rouse the yeast when serving — pour the last inch of bottle sediment into the glass for the authentic cloudy presentation and full flavor.
