Wow, what a little performer!!!
I used it for my wheated Bourbon fermentation. For 8 hours I saw no action, then... Oh lordy! That guy started burping non-stop. For 36 hours. Then it stopped. SG 1.000. Wow!
I don't think I've had a yeast finish any fermentation up in 36 hours. This wort was 1.070 when the fermentation started, so not exactly a low gravity wort either. And the smell! Just lovely aromas.
I did oxygenate thoroughly before pitching, and I had added lots of goodies for the yeast too. And the fermentation was at 28-34C, so pretty high. I guess I gave some love and it loved back.
I can recommend the USW-6, guys! Great yeast.

Noted...good recommendation. How did the white dog taste...if you've run it yet?
All that fun we had growing up...We pay for as we grow old.

Not yet. One more stripping run, then I'm good to go. But the smell is awesome.
