  From my experience I have had sulphur smells during fermentation using Wyeast 3068
  Weihenstephan strain. Both times I used a half wheat grain bill and had vigorous
  fermentations.The good news is the s...

  2 pack of US 05 should be a good pitching rate. I was planning on using a liquid yeast possibly
  a British strain with a 2L starter. But I am defiantly on the fence for yeast choice. Should I

  Yes I think you should be fine. Just to clarify if you taste your wort after the boil while
