OK, brewed my first batch of Belgian Trippel last Sunday (3rd batch ever). Got a fast vigorous start and still getting a good amount of airlock action. I'm getting a distinctive banana smell from the top of the airlock in the primary. I've read that that can be a sign of a batch gone wrong. Is this true? Or is it just because theres so much malt and sugar in this recipe? (liquid malt extract, DME, Belgian candy sugar, and hops--no grains) Also, a whiff of alcohol. Yeah buddy! :cross:
I'll taste it when I rack. That should be a good indication.
I'd appreciate any thoughts.
