This usually turns out pretty good, until today.

Thought That purple pack of yeast in the fridge was S-04. Nope, WB-06. Only other things I had were a Danstar Belle Saison and a Mangrove Jack Wheat Beer yeast.

Might turn out interesting.

Bavarian Wheat Stout, BIAB, 1.25 hour mash.
3 gallons

3 lbs. Maris Otter
3 lbs. White wheat malt
1 oz. Chocolate malt 350L
12 oz. Roast Barley
6 oz. Molasses
0.6 oz. Centennial @ 60 min.

WB-06 Wheat beer yeast

All the Best,
D. White

S-04 is Blue isn't it? But for the Wheat Stout wouldn't a Wheat yeast be good maybe even better?

I think you made the right choice, or maybe the MJ. I would have used one of these just for a change.

Yeah, after looking online I saw the S-04 is in fact blue.

May be I just need to brew more. Think I did two batches last year. Three this year so far including today. Trying to do one a month 2.5 to 3 gallon.

All the Best,

I try my best to keep a running list of my inventory (base malts, adjuncts, hops, yeast and supplies) so I can build a recipe without having to physically look for each ingredient. I sometimes forget to update it but have gotten much better about that recently. I actually do a visual inspection once every month or so also.

Sometimes I am surprised about how much I have acquired over time. Currently I have more than 100# of base grains and 7# of hops... Holy crizzap, how did I let this hobby suck me in?? Oh, yeah... Delicious beer.

This. Especially the sucking me in part, but more to the helpful side, the thing about checking once a month because in the rush I forget to decrement inventory.

To @dwhite60 , I use WB06 for a lemon/lime wheat and like it because it is not too phenolic, to me means clove/peppery, as I despise clove in beer for some reason. I've not used the MJ wheat so can't help ya there.

Keep temps for clove rather than banana perhaps.

48 hours and this seems to be done. I even kept it in the mid to low 60's Fahrenheit. WB-06 seems to be one strong fermenter! Interested to see where the gravity ends up.
