White Labs | WLP400 Belgian Wit Ale Yeast | PurePitch® Next Generation

WLP400 Belgian Wit Ale Yeast is White Labs' definitive strain for authentic Belgian witbiers (white ales). High phenol production — the compounds responsible for spicy, clove-like, and herbal notes — creates the complex, aromatic character that defines the style. A slightly fruity ester profile complements herb and fruit adjuncts like coriander and orange peel beautifully. Expect nearly 80% attenuation, meaning the yeast will ferment most of the sugars for a dry, crisp finish — slightly lower than English or American ale strains, which gives witbier its characteristic refreshing dryness. Low to medium flocculation keeps the beer pleasantly hazy, true to the Belgian white ale tradition. Attenuation: 74–78% Flocculation: Low to Medium Alcohol Tolerance: Medium (5–10%) Fermentation Temp: 67–74°F (19–23°C) STA1: Negative
