CellarScience HEFE Dry Yeast - Wheat Ale

Dry wheat ale yeast for classic Hefeweizen banana and clove character.

CellarScience HEFE is a top-fermenting dry yeast crafted for wheat beers. It produces the traditional banana and clove notes expected in Hefeweizen, with a smooth body, persistent haze, and high drinkability. Warmer fermentation can bring out more banana character, while cooler fermentation can emphasize subtle clove notes.

Why Brewers Like It:

• Great for Hefeweizen and wheat beer recipes
• Produces classic banana and clove notes
• Contributes to smooth body and persistent haze
• Fermentation range: 59–77°F
• Optimal range: 64–72°F
• Attenuation: 80–91%
• Alcohol tolerance: up to 10% ABV
• Low flocculation
• Direct pitch with no rehydration needed
• 15 g sachet treats a 5–6 gallon batch

Dosage:

One 15 g sachet is enough for a 5–6 gallon batch. For larger batches, use 2–3 grams per gallon of wort and round up by one full sachet rather than measuring the yeast exactly.

Beginner Note:

Use HEFE when you want the yeast character to be part of the beer. This is a good choice for bright, refreshing wheat beers with the signature cloudy look and classic Hefeweizen aroma.
