So I've got this recipe for a delicious imperial Witbier. I've brewed it about 3 times now and it's just delicious as all-get-out using Wyeast 3944 or WLP400, but I'm thinking now about trying something different with it to see what happens. Not sure if it's a good idea though so I came here for some feedback.
So here are my thoughts on other yeasts that might be tasty in this recipe;
WLP300
WLP380
WLP001 (Blue moon apparently is brewed with an ale yeast?)
Or even perhaps a Saison yeast?
What do ya think?
