Description
Fermentis SafAle BW-20 yeast
SafAle BW-20 specialty yeast is selected for the production of wheat beers having neutral fruity flavours with a specific phenolic character of cloves and peppery notes. SafAle BW-20 yeast doesn’t completely ferment maltotriose giving some mouthfeel to the beer. This yeast has a medium sedimentation; so it doesn’t form clumps but a powdery haze when resuspended in the beer.
