I've made quite a few wheat beers but only with German yeasts or S-05 for American styles. Just curious if anyone has tried S-04 and how were the results'? I may have to just give it a go.
Wheat beer w/ S-04?

Are you confident that you can get it to attenuate enough? American wheat that finishes high doesn't sound appealing to me personally.

yeah I'll probably stick to my tried and true recipes. Just wondering if anyone has done it.

I would try it. Could give a simple american wheat more character. You could call it an English wheat and you could use EKG to really make it unique. I'm sure it would be a fine beer, just different from the traditional styles.

I've made a 50/50 2-row/wheat 'American Wheat' ale with S-04. Both ended up near 1.010, so definitely not under attenuated. I think it makes a good wheat beer. The very subtle English esters compliment the wheat flavors I think.
