Brewer notes

American Hefeweizen Ale is a liquid wheat culture from White Labs (WLP320). Fermentation character can show banana, sulfur, and clove notes. Choose it when its fermentation profile fits the intended beer rather than substituting by attenuation alone. Reference guidance: attenuation guidance 70–75%, fermentation range about 18–21°C (65–69°F), alcohol tolerance around 8%. Treat temperature, attenuation and alcohol tolerance as strain guidance; wort composition, pitch health and fermentation management still affect the result.
