Omega Yeast Recipe
JOVARU™ WIT
The Jovaru™ Lithuanian Farmhouse strain provides notes of citrus and light acidity, making it a good fit for a Belgian wit. Adding some orange peel and cracked coriander in the kettle highlighted the light phenolics of the strain. And a healthy dose of unmalted wheat bumped the perceived body.
We pitched on the higher end of the temperature range at 90°F (32°C), and were able to package and drink within two weeks.
The beer has a very light crackery malt backbone, finishing with a dry but soft mouthfeel.
