So I brewed a wheat beer with #3068 and I thought I kept it at around 62. Anyways, TONS of banana and it is cloyingly sweet. OG was hit per the recipe @ 1.054 and FG was hit at 1.012.
Anyways, the homebrew shop I bought my ingredients from didn't keep the freshest stuff and I am wondering if possibly the hops weren't very fresh and therefore not produced enough bittering to balance the sweetness or I didn't put in enough for bittering? I don't have a scale yet so I eyeballed it.
I pretty new at this so I'm just trying to figure out what went wrong because while I have never made this recipe, I'm pretty sure this is WAY too sweet.
The hops called for and used were Tettnag at around 4.75%.
If I threw in some extra hops now into the keg for a week how would it change things? Just throw off a sweet hoppy flavor?
Anyways, thanks!
