It seems like every wheat beer I do, ends up with an amber color and clove/banana smell.
I know these flavors can come from fermenting too high of temps, so I was sure to stay within the temp range of my yeast.
When I brewed my latest hefe, the brew pot looked like a beautiful hefe. Transfered to primary, and felt like maybe just once, I would have a yellow colored wheat beer.
As it sat in secondary for a week, I noticed it getting darker. As I type now, I am bottling, my beer looks like a Dos Equis Amber beer, with a heavy clove/banana smell.
This is my 3rd wheat that has been brown, and I have yet to make a yellow beer.
Any ideas? I'm going insane.
