oldsquaw Jr. Mr Beer Fan Registered: 10/03/10 Posts: 148	Has anyone ever tried this? It was more expensive than the liquid yeast. Thought I'd try it in my batch of witbier. Pitched it last night and it's bubbling away this morning.

Jacylrin Token Brewing Chick Ultimate Mr. Beer Fan Registered: 12/27/11 Posts: 904 Loc: Northern Virginia	I'm researching yeasts, and so far the cheapest I've found Brewferm Blanche is at Midwest for $4.50. The description I found is "Ferments clean with little or no sulphur. Top-fermenting strain for Belgian witbier. Spicy and lightly phenolic." If I find it somewhere cheaper than that, I'll let you know :-) I haven't used it yet, but I can be a little OCD when it comes to research :-P _________________________ -=- Em. #1 - Maiden Pale Ale - Drinking #2 - Sloppy Seconds Dirty Blonde Ale - Conditioning #3 - Threesome Hefe - Conditioning #4 - Fourplay Short Mead - On Deck (one gallon) #6 - Bewenched Red Ale - On Deck

Jon_TWR I'm the white rabbit. Brewmeister Dubbel Registered: 12/17/09 Posts: 12027 Loc: Brooklyn, NY	I didn't find this dry yeast until I was done with/got tired of brewing my yeast trials recipe, so I haven't tried it. But, Jamil does recommend it as a dry yeast to use in a witbier in BCS. For comparison, he doesn't recommend ANY dry yeast for use in a hefeweizen. So definitely follow up and let us know how it turns out! What are your fermentation temps? _________________________ CCBBA Yeast Trials Favorite recipes: Drunken Druid (Mr. Beer),JPA (All Grain)...there are more that go here, I will add them later.

oldsquaw Jr. Mr Beer Fan Registered: 10/03/10 Posts: 148	Put this in bottles tonight, very pleased with the taste thus far. Kind of like a blue moon/ sunset wheat, not as sweet though. I'll post again when carbed up!
