Hi guys

I can recommend the m20 over the wb-06 but that would be down to my preference - I've not tried the others yet.

Not tried the others, but I recently did a dunkelweizen with wb 06 and that turned out great, ferment at the top end for a little banana 🍌

I just found this yeast on eBay

KristallWeizen – Wheat Beer
A top-fermenting wheat beer yeast which imparts banana and clove esters, balanced with spiced aromas. This yeast produces a silky mouth-feel and rich body. And as its name suggests, it ferments out clear!!! So whether you like it cloudy of clear this yeast is great in achieving that Hefe/Weissbier/Weizen feel. Your brew will ferment quite nicely between 15c to 28c, but it’s designed to ferment at room temp, or a tad higher to achieve a more intense brew

Used WB-06 in two brews and they came out good:thumb:

I've used both Mangrove yeasts and the 06 depending on what I was aiming for. If you're going for a Belgian Wit and using Coriander and Orange then the M21 is the obvious choice but if you are aiming for a German type Hefe then either the MJ M20 or Safale 06 would be the choice. Now to contradict myself I have a wheat beer fermenting which has Coriander and Orange but I used the 06. I guess what I'm saying is try what you think will suit the type of beer you're aiming for, as long as the yeasts suit your chosen type and fermenting temps I'm sure you wont be disappointed with the results, good luck, enjoy your brew day. I should add though that I'm usually the one seeking out advice rather than giving my opinion, I'm still a real beginner but I do like my wheat beers. :)

I will be using the following ingredients,
1.5kg Wilkos wheat kit
500g medium spray malt
454g honey
200g dextrose
100g malto-dextrin

A nice easy session wheat beer

Have decided to do the Wilkos wheat beer kit to 10 litres with the crossmyloof brewery kristallweizen yeast

Never mind all that willy, you need to take that copy of King Arthur back to the video shop, before you get fined.

I did one can with Wilko yeast and one can with MJ 20 yeast. MJ20 produced a really refreshing fruity beer. Wilko's was just average. The extra expense is definitely worth it.

I would recommend M20. I used it in my January competition entry. It was a Belgian Rye IPA. Despite M20 being a Bavarian yeast it's flavour profile is very similar to that of Belgian strains. Nice hints of banana, clove and spice.

My favourite yeast strain so far.

 

[willycoolj]

She going well so far
