YF-401 is a versatile wheat beer yeast, especially recommended for beers with cold hopping. It leaves a smooth, silky flavor profile with soft esters, complementing malt-forward wheat recipes. While not as phenol-heavy as classic Hefeweizen strains, it provides subtle complexity and balance. The yeast’s gentle character allows malt and hop elements to shine without interference. Its moderate flocculation and clean finish make it a dependable choice for craft wheat beers.
