Safbrew WB-06 Ale Dry Yeast

This yeast is VERY active, I pitched it straight into my bavarian wheat at around 74-75 degrees and in maybe an hour it was already starting to form tiny little patches of bubbles on the surface of the beer. Then thanks to an annoying mockingbird I woke up early in the morning and saw that the beer was starting to foam out of the carboy (thanks for waking me up mockingbird!). So be ready for this one to GO and go FAST!

Regardless of the origin, this is one of my favorite wheat beer yeasts and it produces a beer that is more of an american wheat than a German wheat. The banana and clove are a little more dialed down, which if you know that going in can be a good thing. I like a good hefe but I also like this yeast a lot, an easy drinker for sure.

Best yeast I have ever used. It was working in less than 30 min. Very aggressive. Will use many more times in future.

I used this in a dunkel style. I was very pleased with the performance and aroma and flavor. Banana and clove was more subdued than weihanstephan. I picked up a little bit of a spicy note that was unique and very pleasant. Definitely using again.

I used this beer for my Heavy Hefeweizen, it produced great flavors and decent attenuation. Agreed with others that a blowoff tube is a must, this stuff was pushing out the tube for several days. I will use this again for my wheats as it is easy, cheap, and it works.

I just used this for a German smoked ale and was pleased with the results

I needed to replenish the brewing pipeline after a brief hiatus. I thought a schnell weizen could be turned around from pot to pour in short order. Kegged after 9 days and although I would tolerate some flaws with this approach, I am not getting any in this beer! Very pleased with the results given the all-extract, dry yeast, shortcut process on this one.

Just used this yeast on my American Wheat and works like a charm if you want the Bavarian Wheat ester character in an ale. Great Banana and Clove nose with a slight lemon finish. Really nice. Got a little more attenuation than I was expecting but at 79%, I'm not complaining. Still plenty of malt backbone.

Using WB-06 was the final tweak that I was looking for in a Belgian White Ale. Great nose, and a tangy hint that didn't happen with other yeasts. Love this stuff!

33 per cent of my brews are hefeweizens. I love 'em. This yeast works well EVERY time with a fast start. just sprinkle it in

if you're making a wheat - hefe - wit - this is the yeast to use. Really accentuates the wheat flavor. Keep it towards the higher end of recommended temp range. Did that with my strawberry wheat I just brewed. Delish!
