Hey everyone,
I'm about to brew an AG American Raspberry Wheat for my cousin's 21st birthday. She wants something sweet and not too hoppy, so I thought Raspberry Wheat would be the way to go. My question to you is, what type of yeast would you use and why? I usually use smack packs, but have considered using something like S-04 for this.
For smack packs I was thinking about these possibilities:
Wyeast 1272: American 2
Wyeast 1098: British
Wyeast 1318 London III-
This will be my first Raspberry Wheat and I want the malt and berries to shine through. I'm very comfortable as an AG brewer, but I really have no idea which yeast would be best for this project. I'm looking for a refreshing, effervescent, but chewy style of American Wheat if that helps. Thanks in advance!
