Has anyone tried using the weihenstephaner yeast in an IPA? Specifically a two hearted ale clone?
Well I already washed it down. Bottled a Bavarian hefewiezen just now and was curious if I could use it I
In one since I have several sacks of 2 row and a sack of c40 as well as a couple pounds of centennial hops just lieing around. Oh well. Ill just get some wyeast 1056 next time in town. Thanks though that does help
If you use a higher-kilned base malt like Munich, you don't get the clove phenolics (kilning destroys precursors). You'd still get bananas though.
Have you tried the Hopfenweisse collaboration between Schneider and Brooklyn? It's pretty much a cross between a traditional Bavarian hefe and American IPA, and it's awesome. If I were going to attempt something along these lines, that's what I'd be shooting for.
