I'm going to brew this once my Aventinus clone is kegged because I'm going to use the yeast from it. The banana flavor will come from the Wyeast 3068, fermented at a temperature of 75 degrees to bring out the banana flavor. I'm adding lactose for the sweetness and cream properties. The flaked oats will contribute to the creaminess. This will all be racked on 4# of strawberries in the secondary. How does it look? I'm looking for strong banana and strawberry flavors on this one. Kinda my first recipe so I'm totally open to suggestions. How much of the yeast cake should I pitch to get a strong banana flavor?
