Anyone use the Danstar dry Munich Wheat Yeast?

I am planning on trying it for a wheat.

I have some in my fridge that I never tried. Let me know how it turns out. I bought it thinking Id need it to help finish out a wheat in case I needed it. Nope no need so there it sits.

See "Blood Orange Wheat" in Favorite Beer Styles.
After one week in the bottle, taste is very good.

Fermented at 70-75, due to summer time brewing in central California!
Pours like a Hefe, cloudy, but not much color from Blood oranges. Very good flavor and aroma!
Neutral flavor, no Hefe charactor, but orange may be masking it.
Went fast! 48 hours and it was done! Removed from trub, filtered out orange and zest.
It had a very slow bubble rate, so I left it in secondary for another 5 days.

I lost my ice/water bath overnight the first night and it rose to near 80 deg. I caught it in the morning and brought it back down to finish in low 70's. I assume several hours of warmer temps? Did not seem to effect the flavor.

I will try it again, with a plain wheat, and see if more hefe character comes out!
