I really enjoyed drinking this, a bit more malty and full bodied than I expected, but full of flavour. I'll have to brew it again with a greater proportion of wheat next time.
That yeast is quite flexible based on the fermentation temperature. 21 degrees gives real banana kick, while 18 seemed more delicate with much less banana and a little clove flavour.
Ahh great! I've decided to go with a weizenbock first from gh's book but because they are reasonably similar I bought enough malt for this one too. Looking forward to both!
Good stuff about the yeast, I now have temp control so will be able to play about a bit.
Finally cracked one open. Lighter in colour and flavour than I wanted, but otherwise fine. Drinks like a plain Hefe. I'll rebrew pretty soon, but without the comedy ingredient cock up.
Re-brewed with rice hulls and not rice but it's still too pale. Tastes great but, I'll just have to
pass it off as the house Hefeweizen.
Going to double up the Special B next time.
