[durrie]

Hi all
Long story short will a packet of Bavarian wheat yeast be ok in a standard pale ale.
cant see a prob my self but thought i'd ask.
oh and on another topic for those who were interested in the raspberry wheat beer i was asking about in another thread
and advised me on questions asked. I didnt get fresh / frozen berrys in the end i used some raspberry syrup from the local polish shop all i can say is DONT do it its not very nice at all

Can't comment on the wheat yeast in a pale ale but I'll second not using the raspberry syrup in a beer - luckily I only tried it out in a split batch, wasn't too galling to pour 7 bottles down the drain!

Your yeast will be fine.

See here for a humongous thread on using that raspberry stuff to make alcoholic raspberryade:

Re the yeast, it will defo mmake beer. Might have some unusual Flavours but could be an interesting experiment! If you ferment at the lower end of the temp range you'll get less yeasty esters. The hoppier the ale the less you'll notice the yeast flavours.

Might be the best ale you ever make

A German wheat yeast will not make an English or American style ale, if you've had a German wheat beer you will know how strong the yeast flavours are, so it depends how easy going you are about the outcome!
