Wheat Beer reccomendations

[Calichusetts]

So I'm brewing a pretty standard American wheat tonight but using a nice blend of NZ hops and lemon/lime zest to have a nice summer porch sipper. I really don't want banana or clove in this as I want the hops to shine. The first choice would be WLP320. My cooler is 62 right now which is perfect for a 65-66 fermentation temp. I guessing that would hold back the esters of 320. At the same time, I am thinking why risk it? Just use 001 and while it won't be to style, it will be more neutral.

Never used 320 so any recommendations are welcome. Swinging by my LHBS on the way home and they are stocked with almost the complete line up of WL

Actually, it's the 320 that give off some bannana and clove, which is inappropriate for the style. I'd go with Chico or a Kolsch strain.

I know you were focused on the white labs, but if your LHBS has Wyeast, use the 1010. I brew an American wheat an use NZ hops and it does a fantastic job. Gives it some tartness and makes the lime/citrus pop

I'm currently fermenting a Summer Wheat Ale with BRY-97.

JUST found that online. I try to get all my liquid yeast in person to save on storage and shipping. I went in to my LHBS like 3 weeks ago, they had just opened and not even close to fully set up. They already had, what seemed to be, the entire white labs line up. I'm guessing when I go today, it would be the same but I hope they have 1010. I have in fact only used Wyeast in the past.

That sounds right up my alley. Might go with 001 if nothing is out there. The wheat will make it hazy and I just won't cold crash.

Thanks!
