I am brewing a simple wheat beer and am looking for a good yeast. I have used Wyeast American Wheat 1010 in the past and am not a big fan. I would like to try something different but keep it close to its simple style.

I recently used WLP380 and it came out great. Controlling your fermentation temps can make a difference in the characteristics you get out of the yeast.

I've used American Hefeweizen Ale (White Labs #WLP320) with good results. I've also used Safbrew Wheat (DCL/Fermentis #WB-06) with good results as well.
My last batch I used the WB-06, and fermentation kicked off within MINUTES - before I even got the airlock installed & filled with vodka.
I just made a wheat beer or a weizen.. 4 pounds white wheat malt 4 pounds 2 row and a pound of honey 1ounce of tetanang with wlp 320 not happy with the taste kinda has a tomato taste?
I second the WB-06. I use it in my American Wheat recipe and it gives just the right amount of weizen flavor. It drops incredibly clear. So much that I was forced to swirl up the dregs and add them to my beer for the desired flavor.

. I find that I am quite sensitive to banana and clove. Not something I really enjoy in any amount. I have found American Styles like boulevard and a local one from olde main to be tasty. Would there be any Wheat Yeast produce a cleaner profile without any banana or clove. Or would I be better off with a plain old 1056 American Ale.
