Brewer notes

American Wheat Ale is a liquid ale culture from Wyeast (1010). Fermentation character can show crisp notes. Choose it when its fermentation profile fits the intended beer rather than substituting by attenuation alone. Reference guidance: attenuation guidance 74–78%, fermentation range about 14–23°C (58–74°F), alcohol tolerance around 9%. Treat temperature, attenuation and alcohol tolerance as strain guidance; wort composition, pitch health and fermentation management still affect the result.
