It delivers the classic hefeweizen character brewers have chased for decades — big banana esters, clove phenolics, and a soft, pillowy mouthfeel — with the convenience and shelf stability of a dry packet. One 11.5 g packet pitches directly into a 5-gallon batch, no starter needed.\u003c!--below--\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor decades, the Weihenstephan weizen strain has been the gold standard for hefeweizen — the yeast behind the banana-forward, clove-spiced character that defines the style at its best. It's been available in liquid form for years, but liquid yeast comes with a shelf life clock and cold chain requirements. SafAle W-68 changes that. Fermentis has brought this iconic strain to dry yeast for the first time, giving homebrewers access to true Weihenstephan character with the convenience and reliability of a dry packet.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhat It Brings to Your Beer\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassic hefeweizen character\u003c\/strong\u003e — prominent banana esters balanced by clove phenolics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft, pillowy mouthfeel\u003c\/strong\u003e — medium attenuation leaves just enough body to complement the wheat bill\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFruity and floral top notes\u003c\/strong\u003e — well-suited to witbier, weizenbock, and fruity-spicy wheat styles beyond the traditional hefeweizen\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePowdery, non-clumping sedimentation\u003c\/strong\u003e — stays suspended longer, contributing to that characteristic hefeweizen haze\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDry yeast convenience\u003c\/strong\u003e — long shelf life, no starter required, pitches directly into 5-gallon batches\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhether you're brewing a traditional Bavarian hefeweizen or pushing the style into weizenbock or fruited wheat territory, W-68 gives you the authentic Weihenstephan foundation — now in a packet you can keep on the shelf until brew day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HomeBrewIt.com \/ Quality Wine and Ale Supply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52108800622893,"sku":"DY38","price":6.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0068\/4264\/6618\/files\/image_1920_13685b2e-9191-4072-a59f-49a1bd26654e.jpg?v=1780502266","url":"https:\/\/www.homebrewit.com\/products\/fermentis-safale-w-68-wheat-beer-yeast-11-5-g","provider":"HomeBrewIt.com \/ Quality Wine and Ale Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
