Wheat itself will give off the banana smell, regardless of the yeast you use, some yeasts will enhance this, some will minimize it, but it'll still be there. The most clove I've ever had come through...

Did you use any finings during the boil? Even though you did a protein rest, wheat has a metric crap-ton of it, so there's a chance not all might have degraded and it might have made some flocs in...

Not late by any means, it was actually faster than I'm used to.

Just swinging by to say hi and ask if anyone has any news or anything they'd like to share.

To my knowledge, none of the barley that's commercially available is malted, you'll have to malt it. That being said, it's not hard to do if you have a large enough oven and don't mind leaving it on...

Doesn't really prevent funky bugs from growing in it, it just doesn't let them metabolize as fast, so you don't get a pellicle and the funky flavors take longer to develop. Anything it touches will...

Not really, you can use a large sieve and rub them against the mesh, but it's time consuming and not as effective if the grain is not perfectly dry (<12% humidity). It's not really that much trouble...

Just stopping by to let you guys know the EC-1118 champagne yeast that Curtis gave me is happily chugging away a 1.055 wort right now, it's just about done fermenting so I should have a viable colony...

No need to worry yet, the next 2 weeks should still be sunny enough, the rain we had over the weekend was a late cold front that caused a snow storm in the midwest US, another one's possibly lining...

I think you might have not have moved the bed enough to evenly distribute moisture, so the bottom grain got moldy/yeasty and it just spread from there, if it smelled acidic it was probably...

Lack of airlock activity doesn't mean fermentation's stopped, just slowed down due to most of the fermentable sugars being consumed. I dare say ~60F is the sweetspot for varying yeasts, on the high...

Nice to know, let us know what comes of it.

You might also want to talk to some local pastry bakers, malt extract is a great way to sweeten and add caramel taste to cookies, cakes, granola bars...

For a quick turn around I'd suggest a premium bitter, I've just made a couple with DC extract and mid/low alpha hops, lots of brown sugar though, chilling the beer as gravity comes to about 1.010

It'd make the beer have a more floral/fruity taste, light brown sugar is regular table sugar dipped in molasses (kind of like fake tanned sugar), so that will give you a more pronounced caramel...
