Fermentis | SafAle™ BW-20 Belgian Witbier | Dry Beer Yeast

    Description

    • Authentic Witbier Flavor: Delivers classic clove, mild pepper, and subtle fruit notes.
    • Lets Adjuncts Shine: Restrained profile perfectly highlights orange peel and coriander additions.
    • Enhanced Mouthfeel: Leaves trace maltotriose unfermented for a richer, more satisfying body.
    • Classic Witbier Haze: Rouses beautifully to create a stable, traditional powdery haze in the glass.

    Looking to brew the perfect Belgian Witbier? SafAle™ BW-20 from Fermentis is the ideal choice for crafting authentic, flavor-forward wheat beers. This specialized dry strain delivers a balanced profile of subtle fruitiness paired with the signature clove and black pepper phenols that define the style. Because this yeast character remains pleasantly restrained, it provides an excellent foundation to let traditional witbier adjuncts—like sweet orange peel and crushed coriander—truly take center stage.

    On the technical side, BW-20 intentionally leaves a fraction of maltotriose unfermented, which translates to a richer, more satisfying body and mouthfeel in your finished beer. You can also expect medium, clump-free sedimentation that rouses beautifully, creating the classic powdery haze that looks absolutely perfect in the glass.

    Key Characteristics:

    • Ideal Styles: Belgian Witbier and traditional wheat beers
    • Flavor Profile: Subtle fruit, distinct clove, and mild pepper
    • Mouthfeel: Enhanced body (due to residual maltotriose)
    • Appearance: Pours with a traditional, stable powdery haze

    This yeast can be pitched directly, but if you prefer to rehydrate, the instructions are below.

    Sprinkle the yeast in a minimum of 10 times its weight of sterile water or wort (we suggest 4 oz) at 70°F to 77°F (21 to 25 °C). Do not stir. Leave to rest 15 to 30 minutes. Gently stir for 30 minutes, and pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel.

    • Apparent Attenuation: 77-83%
    • Sedimentation: Medium
    • Alcohol Tolerance: 9-11% ABV
    • Optimum Fermentation Temp: 64-78°F

    *See the technical data sheet below for more information on rehydration, usage and storage.
