I bottled my hefe last weekend, tasted one of em today and its all clove with a 70 degree ferment (not a complaint). Used Wyeast 3333, so what gives? Will i get some banana flavors as it bottle conditions?

The short answer is no. 3333 is not one for banana. It's more at a sherry-like and tart. Nothing wrong with that either. Just enjoy them all.

Next time try WLP300 for nanner and bubblegum, WLP351 for nanner and cloves, Weihenstephan is a great one also.

I realize you're posting in the extract forum, but if you ever start mashing, one thing you might want to try (I know I am going to try it on my next hefeweizen) is a maltase rest to turn some maltose into glucose. Hefeweizen is such a simple beer; I'm glad someone came up with a way to make it complicated (i.e. fun).

I loves me some banana in a hefe. Jamil may say otherwise, but low 70s works for me as a fermentation temp on a hefe with WLP300, 'cause I want that nanner in my beer.
