Safbrew WB-06

[Kingclay]

My mate has been brewing a wheat beer with this yeast, smells great, tastes great so far. However the attenuation has been rather poor. 1040 down to 1015 over 2 and a half weeks at 20 deg. A stir at about 2 weeks dropped the gravity from 1020 to 1015.

Is this the usual performance for this yeast?

Fermentis don't give any attenuation figures but do specify that the final gravity will be high, so your figures sound ok to me.

I used it last August and got down from 1051 to 1013 in about 5 days. What a great yeast. I've still got a couple of bottles in the garage somewhere.
