Just brewed up a wheat beer using S-33 and thought I should post my experience since I don't see alot of info out there.
The Basic Recipie is:
5lbs pilsner
5lbs Wheat
1lb C20
Mash 154
OG 1.055
FG 1.018
Anyways it's been in the primary for 10 days and is completely finished.
As reported in other threads it took off like a shot and was done fermenting in about 48hours.
I was hoping for a nice fruity component but It tastes a little like a Wit to me at this point. That may be due to low fermentation temps around 62*F. The beer is also very cloudy (not necessarily a bad thing) but seems to point to low floc. of the yeast.
Can't say I'm real happy with the outcome so far. I'll chime back in after it's been in the bottle for a few weeks.
I'm wondering what other experience with S33 has been?
Later
