    I recently brewed an american wheat with us 05 yeast, 60% wheat and 40% german pils. 1.052 fermented to 15 ibus with perle and amarillo at FO. I mashed at 150. I love this beer. It is dry and crushable. It finished at 1.005.

    I was thinking of using the same malt bill and using either a Hefe yeast, a saison yeast or a dubbel yeast. I am leaning towards wyeast 3522 or 3711. I've used 3522 in a saison before and loved it. The LHBS is out of stock and I'm hoping it will be available this weekend. I would add either Amarillo or Mosaic at FO.

    Thoughts?

    A saison yeast like 3724 would probably be great, not sure since I've never used that much wheat before (in any beer).

    I've used white wheat or torrified wheat in my last few batches. I'm loving it.

    Do a split batch, try both, and report back with your thoughts.

    Yeah, it would only be better with a more interesting yeast. I had a happy accident when I put 2oz of columbus at FO in a wit fermented with T-58. I thought I was using saaz, haha.

    I did a saison with 3522 and 3 ounces of mosaic in it at FO. I wish I hadnt burned through that beer so fast. It was amazing. The peppery character from the yeast played well with the mosaic
