Was at a pub once where they made their own beer onsite.
Sampled a wheat beer (ended up sampling several) that was just awesome.
I would like to attempt brewing a batch of wheat beer myself, with any luck
it'll be half as good.
Would anyone happen to have a recipe for this ??

Thanks mutch !

Sorry guys,

I forgot to mention that it was Banana flavoured wheat beer.
That's the recipe I'm looking for.

Tks again !

I've made a few batches of wheat beer that all turned out excellent.
They all had a bananna "flavor".
I didn't add any flavoring. It is because of the particular strain of
yeast used. They acutally had bananna and clove "flavor" and other
"fruity" aromas. It'is possible that the pub added a bananna flavor,
but it is probabbly just from the yeast. If your interested, the
recipies I used came from Midwest Supplies. [url]www.midwestsupplies.com[/url]

I've been making all my beers with this trappist yeast that makes it
kinda banana flavored. The thing is, Nobody has ever notices it without me
mentioning it, then seemingly can't forget it. I found this in one of the
recipes BYO posted in an article:

"German Hefe yeasts can be used but the brewer should keep the temperature
at the bottom end of the yeast's range to reduce the production of banana
and clove esters."

So, apparently if you can get a yeast that typicaly produces esters to
ferment at warm temperatures you'll have a higher ester bouqet in the
finished product, and these guys were recommending White Labs WLP320
(american hefeweizen) yeast for their wheat beer recipe. I haven't noticed
any clove esters with my brew, always that subtle banana flavor; I do
usually brew at very low temperatures considering it's ales I'm making.
I've been using WLP500; It was a specialty yeast strain so may be hard
finding it. The whole recipe for your wheat beer can be found on BYO in
"10 great recipes".
Hope that helps,

Thanks for the input guys .... I've yet to brew a wheat beer, guess I didn't
realize that the banana smell/taste came from the yeast.
I have purchased Coopers Wheat Beer .... any ideas on what the finished
product may taste like.
Should I maybe buy diferent yeast to achieve that banana aroma.

Thanks again.

They give a good run down on the different yeast strains.
That might help a little in choosing one.

What yeast came with your "kit"? I use White Labs #300 Hefewizen Ale
liquid yeast for my wheat beers.
Good luck.

Cheers,
Mike

Hey:

You should try a Brew House Prarie Wheat kit and sub in the WY3068 - it will be
the best wheat beer you have ever tasted, especially if you keg it!

I will keep that in mind JR ..... just ordered my WY3068 today and wil try
it with the Coopers kit I have here.
Brew House is available at my local brew store so if the Coopers turns out
ok, I'll give it a try.

Tks
