Super Wheaty Hefe

[bacillus]

I brewed an all-grain hefe a few weeks back, recipe below. The issue is that it has a tremendousn wheat character to it. I have brewed this numerous times the same way. Any thoughts? Its not a bad beer but the wheat covers up some of the banana notes.

Thanks for your input and advice on not repeating it !

Good question. I wonder if the time of year and the quality of the water makes a difference? Regarding the wheat, did you change brands?

Not much, just a couple of thoughts.

What, if anything, changed from your previous batches? I'm talking about fermentation temps, yeast used, freshness of malt, etc...
