3068 -vs- 3638

Cpt_Kirks · Mar 4, 2010

I love Wyeast 3068. For Hefeweissen and Dunkelweiss, it is a great yeast.

However, I wonder how it stacks up against 3638?

I'm thinking of brewing a 10 gallon batch of Hefe next month, and fermenting half with 3068 and half with 3638.

Wonder how they will compare?

3638 is more bubblegum and less banana than 3068 in the higher temps. I also get some vanilla and way less clove too with 3638 at lower temps. They are both great yeasts- it is always hard for me to decide which one to use.

To be honest I think 3638 tastes more like the hefe's I used to quaff in germany.

cpt kirks, did you get around to brewing this experiment?

3068 fermented at about 62*F wins hands down.

Cool, I won't waste my $ on the 3638
