I have a smack pack of 1007 that needs to eat some wort. Not sure how it will end up with an american wheat. Here is the plan:

5# 2-row
6# Wheat malt
1# caramunich

1 oz magnum or mt. Hood at 60
1 oz cascade at 20
1/2 oz cascade at 5
1/2 oz cascade at 0

Anyone use 1007 in an american wheat?
 
Well considering Wyeast says it's ok for an American Wheat...I'd Say GTG

YEAST STRAIN: 1007 | German Ale™

Back to Yeast Strain List

A true top cropping yeast with low ester formation and a broad temperature range. Fermentation at higher temperatures may produce mild fruitiness. This powdery strain results in yeast that remains in suspension post fermentation. Beers mature rapidly, even when cold fermentation is used. Low or no detectable diacetyl.

Origin:
Flocculation: low
Attenuation: 73-77%
Temperature Range: 55-68° F (13-20° C)
Alcohol Tolerance: approximately 11% ABV
Styles:
American Wheat or Rye Beer
Berliner Weisse
Bière de Garde
Düsseldorf Altbier
Kölsch
Northern German Altbier
 
Well that is awesome! I was on the fence for brewing today, but now I'm going to grind some grains and get to it!

Cheers!
