So I bought a kit on line,ordered Hanks Hefeweizen.Followed the instructions ,except I added 1 lb of honey the last 10 minutes othe boil.Got it in the bucket.Fermented like crazy first 24 hours.Left it in the primary 2 weeks then bottled.Cracked one open after 3 weeks Couldn't even drink half a mug.So I tried a Couple more over the next 2 weeks same result.So what happened ? 2 things come to my mind ,but I'm a noob .The first 24 hours of fermentation was 82 ,83 degrees.then I moved it to cooler place,also when I transferred to bottling bucket I sucked up just a little bit of sediment .
It tastes like smoky burnt banana bacon.I know this brew can have banana overtones,but this stuff is terrible.Hanks goin in the drain,might keep one ,try it in 6 months.Anyone have any suggestions for my next attempt ?
