  • Need help -- wrong yeast sent, in the middle of brewing

    My bad on not checking, but I received US-05 cal ale yeast instead of WB06 and am in the middle of lautering my 60% wheat 40% pils hefeweizen.

    Choices:

    1) Local home brew has 6 vials (3 different types of weizen) -- serious underpitch, but in the style hood anyway

    2) use US-05 and call it AMerican Wheat -- change the hop profile, meh.

    3) dump batch and $400 and call it a hard lesson

    Could also grabs some 002 from another batch, but not sure that profile is going to be viable

    Any help, and soon, much appreciated.

    I wouldn't change the hop but change the hefe and call it a hybrid wheat.
