Anyone use US-05 for a hefe or wheat beer with good results?
You would likely end up with a crisp & clean wheat beer, with none of the esters associated with a hefe. Unless you ferment at 85°F or so, and steep some bubble gum, cloves and banana peel!
I bet it would be good...just nothing like a hefe.
I soooo hope someone does this.Unless you ferment at 85°F or so, and steep some bubble gum, cloves and banana peel!
How about T-58 or WB-06?
If you want to make a hefe with a dry yeast, try Danstar Munich.
ThisFor beers whose flavor profiles are absolutely dependent on yeast character, there just isn't a substitute for liquid yeast, IMO.
Hefes, Wits, Belgians of all sort, Saison, etc.
I used it in a wheat with a touch (1/2#) of rye and wasn't real happy with it. I've not really liked any dry wheat yeast to be honest.
