Dried American Wheat Yeast?

[JFB]

Planning on making a blackberry wheat beer at the end of August that calls for Wyeast 1010 American wheat.
Whats the dry yeast alternative?
Ive used WB-06 For a American wheat beer that ive just started to drink and it drinks great, just don't really know if that's the taste I'm looking for in an American beer.
Thanks
John

What's putting you off getting the liquid yeast?

What's putting you off getting the liquid yeast?

Price mainly, and I suppose making a starter seems a pain.
I'm new to the AG and just trying to keep simple while I learn the basics.
Being tight if I got liquid yeast I would feel the need to try and wash it to get my moneys worth. Just no sure if I want to go down that route yet.

*You can just harvest some trub and repitch it if it's less than two weeks ad not bother with a starter (although best practice states you should make a starter to prove viablity but I never do unless it's more than two weeks old)
*You can repitch 6 times or so, just over 1 quid per batch. So that adds 2.5p per per pint for a 40 pint brewlengh

Any more excuses

Crikey do you work in sales:lol:
You are making it sound not so bad, although doing six wheat beers in a row does sound a bit hardcore.
Still the misses is making short work of the first batch so who knows.

Trying to be a bit more helpful - Just done a bit of googling a WY1010 is quite a clean yeast so mst dried wheat yeast strains might not be appropriate as they might be too estery. From reading this http://thebrewingnetwork.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=8644 WY1056/WLP001 might be more apropriate so you could use US-05 (dried yeast) as their all from the chico strain and very similar

Edit. Reading this thread http://www.homebrewtalk.com/showthread.php?t=263613 US-05 definately seems the way forward

the us wheat beers i've had dont have the big banana hit some of the bavarian weizens have and they are not always cloudy.

i've used MJ west coast yeast plus american hops with dried wheat extract which is a nice hybrid.

I've not seen a dried american wheat yeast though! That's more niche than the MJ20

I'm getting quite a sharp grapefruit out of the WB-06 which is good but thinking it could be over powering the American hops slightly??
I suppose trying the same beer again with a different yeast will tell me which one to go for. And will be good for me to understand what the different yeasts are doing.

US05 or equivalent. American Wheats shouldn't be big on the banana and/or clove.
