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.
