This would mean only about 60% attenuation. Maybe this is right? I used safbrew wb-06, which is a dry wheat bear yeast, but not a true wit beer yeast, but the sample I took before bottling, tasted delicious. So ... a small beer great for summer. (I hope.) It also left a nice ring of crud around the fermenter, orange peel I think and I used red caps and they look sweet.
