This weekend I'm planning to take a stab at a simple, LME based Hefe. While I see there are several varieties of liquid yeast that are specifically for wheat beers, I'm wondering if there are any suitable dry yeasts. I've got Safale US-05, Munton's and Notttingham on hand.
I should point out that I'm hoping for a beer without a strong banana or clove flavor, just a hint of it. The other day at Dodger Stadium, I drank a Gordon Biersch Hefe that tasted like a banana smoothie....not my cup of tea! That's $11 I wish I had back...
Are any of the dry yeasts I mentioned suitable? Or should I clear some time for a trip to the LHBS?
