Holy crap! I just tasted and smelt my first Weizenbock today from the fermenter before kegging it, which I used this yeast for the first time too, and it was bloody amazing :icon_drool2:.
I made a 1.5L starter from the smack pack and fermented at 17c all the way, and I don't think I could have asked for a better balance of esters and phenolics. Can't wait to try it from the glass in a few weeks.
I'm re-brewing it again in two weeks time, but next weekend I am doing a Hefe which will be cultured up from a slant, so we'll see how that one goes.
