Wrong YEAST UUURRRGGGHH

[cooldood]

Well it was my first time screwing up my yeast. I was making three batches of beer this weekend and mixed up my yeast

I used Midwest Headwaters ale yeast instead of Weihenstephan Weizen
for my MW Hank's Hefeweizen Kit

I any ideas how it will effect my brew?

It will be fine. You won't get as much turbidity from the yeast, but it should still be pretty cloudy from the wheat. You'll get a cleaner flavor from that yeast over the hefe yeast.

I still have some of my last batch with the right yeast so I guess it will be time for a taste test in about 2 months

It won't be a hefeweizen, but it will be fine.

It should be something like an american wheat ale. I'm going to do 13 gallons this weekend and split into 6 gallons with no boil that will be a Berlinerweize, and 7 gallons that will get some more 2-row steeped then boiled down to 5 gallons, lightly hopped and fermented with s-05. It will turn out to something close to what your going to get.
Should be a good brew for the later summer days.
