I use Saaz in hefes all the time. Love it. You will too. Not too late in the boil though, after all hefe's are about the yeast.JDW81 said:I'm making a hefe on Friday and have a stack of Saaz in the fridge which I need to use. Is it way off the mark to use Saaz in a hefe instead of Hallertau?
Cheers,

Will be using 3068, after all it is the original hefe yeastmckenry said:Which yeast?
Note - I assume Czech Saaz and not B Saaz.
I'd do that, but havent. Great combo in a lager, just dont overdo itJDW81 said:Will be using 3068, after all it is the original hefe yeast
Yeah, Czech saaz.
Will saaz and hallertau clash if I use saaz for bittering and hallertau as a late-ish addition (as is my usual here hop schedule).
I disagree with that sentiment.JDW81 said:Will be using 3068, after all it is the original hefe yeast
I was under the impression that wiehenstephan was one of the oldest operating breweries in the world and 3068 was one of the older yeasts as well.practicalfool said:I disagree with that sentiment.
No plan on over doing it, only a small bittering addition and an even smaller late addition.mckenry said:I'd do that, but havent. Great combo in a lager, just dont overdo it
