Yes, you read right - banana. I am what you would call a mad scientist brewer who enjoys trying new stuff. My youngest son just came up and asked me if I have ever used banana in a beer - he suggested maybe in a wheat.
Now, I love wheat beers and actually enjoy the banana esters the wheat beer yeast put out - and I purposely ferment a little warmer on my wheat beers to bring this flavor out a bit. But to actually use bananas - not so sure.
So - anyone out there try this? If so - what style did you put in it and what did you think of the final product? Also, any tips on using it?
