Subject: Yeast for Oberon Clone?
|
For those of you familiar with Bell's Oberon, what yeast would you use
to clone it? Belgian Wit? American Wheat? Something clean and neutral
like 1056?
I know I can culture it from the bottle (which I have done before),
but this is for some first-time homebrewers, and I don't want their
first brew session to be too complicated.

Howdy,
I've always used 1056 with good results. I think I may give 1010
American Wheat a shot next time I brew my Oberon recipe (which is based
on your recipe that you've posted here a couple of times.) I think a
wit yeast would make a tasty beer, but I don't think it would be a good
choice for an Oberon recipe.
By the way, I brewed up a "rye Oberon" last week. I substituted about
20% of the wheat with rye malt. I hope it turns out well.
