Safale s-33 or Safale wb-06?

[Ale_Jail]

I am making a wheat beer where I will be adding sweet orange peel to it......should I use Safale s-33 which I was told has a more neutral flavor or wb-06 which will add a banana and clove flavor to it.

Will the banana and orange go well together? Or should I choose one or the other?

Re the s-33 I've had it stall at 1.020 or higher on my 3 different times now with 3 different packages. You'll find a few "flame" threads about the s-33 too. Me myself I'll never use it again but on the other hand a handful of people have claimed good success with it.
Maybe split your wort and ferment it with s-33 and wb-06 for experiment and comparisons sake

Sounds good...I went with the wb-06.....when I went back to the store to see if I could get the s-33 but they were sold out.....so my decision was easier haha

What's the worst that could happen?

Just a note about s33. It can be delicious in dark beers. I have used it in 2 brown ales and it has been used in stouts and porters.
It is an English Ale strain called Edme. It starts fast and ends fast which is a great quality.

Don't mean to hi-jack your thread, but it's kind of on topic.

I'm brewing an AG wheat next weekend with 06. What is the best fermentation temp for flavor with this yeast?

 

[Ale_Jail]

Right now Mine is going pretty well.....I don't have complete temp control yet....have to figure that out...but my air temp has been between 63 and 67....if I remember the package correctly that should be the good temps although I am thinking they mean the wort temp and not air temp.

If I recall correctly for 06 fermenting colder 60*F - 64*F should give banana and higher will give clove. I like this yeast for wheats and have made several with it on the cooler side of fermentation.

I make my American Wheat with 06 and ferment at 68. Subtle banana and clove. Not a banana bomb like some of the liquid strains

Thanks for the input. 65 sounds about right! That's what I will do.
