So the general consensus here and around the web seems to be that one needs to be careful not to overpitch WLP300 and WY3068. Doing so may result in lower ester production.
Does this apply to other hefeweizen strains, particularly WLP351, WY3638 and WLP380? Has any one had success (in terms of esters) despite pitching at what would be considered high rates for WLP300/WY3068?
It'd be nice to hear from those with some experience with these yeasts, but if all you've got is hearsay and conjecture, I'll take it.
When making my weizen starters, I usually shoot for about 7 billion cells/liter, for a 1.052 OG, FWIW.
