Last night I took some time to publish the results of a side-by-side regarding the ferulic acid rest when brewing Weissbiers:
My Brewing Log | How much effect does a ferulic acid rest have?
Conclusion: For the chosen yeast holding the ferulic acid rest didn't make any noticeable difference in the clove flavor that was produced during fermentation. While additional experiments should be made to confirm these findings it is very much possible that this rest is not worth the additional work.
Next time I'd like to repeat the experiment with an array of Weissbier yeasts to see if different yeasts respond differently to that rest.
