Howdy friends, I'm about to try brewing NB's summer shandy which a few friends are very excited about. However, the LHBS is fresh out of American wheat beer yeast, and I don't want to order liquid yeast because of the hellish heat here in Texas.
While at the store I snagged a packet of WB-06 and a pouch of good ol' WLP 001. The Safale dry yeast didn't have much info on it other than "wheat beer yeast," so I figured it might be a decent contender. However, after some research, this yeast seems intended for higher-ester/phenol German styles, not so much American ones.
For an American wheat beer destined to become a shandy, which would you choose, the WB-06 or the WLP 001?
