Anything new on this beer? I'm thinking of making some soon for this winter

This sounds delicious, but I'm not up for All-Grain just yet... any recipes for an extract version of this?

I would like to know more info on the secondary and primary, whether there actually is a secondary or not. Would love to try this out!

McTarnamins,

What steps you have found to be best for adding the spices and possibly extra banana (for the Banana Nut Bread Ale). Do you add it all flavorings and extracts into the secondary? How long should it stay in there?

I just kegged this a few days ago. I've got to say, I am less than pleased. I did go with banana extract as opposed to the real thing for simplicity sake, and because I heard bananas can leave large chunks behind. But overall, I don't like the spices very much, or the hop selection. I think it can be a good bear if those were changed to my liking. But that's why were brew, learn, and grow.

Is there a partial mash recipe of this somewhere?

so, im seriously confused on the recipe, and only with the "no secondary" as the spices are listed to be put in during secondary. other than possibly changing the hop profile, sounds delicious

I use a conical so i always secondary anyway, but...anyway....cheers
