Started my mash on a hefe and walked out of the room got sidetracked by the wife and when i came back mash temp was at 187 and being a noob i shut the heat off and let it coast back down which took the entire time 60 min. Bad i know so i figured couldnt hurt to put it in a bucket so i finished the recipe. Im always reading on here to not throw anything away and so being up to a challenge. I got fermentation amazingly though the krausen was extremely weak looking and fell out and disappeared when i took the lid off but i wasnt beat yet. I ordered some amylase and when it finally showed up after the winter storm it had been in primary for two weeks so i tossed that in and that was a week ago. All i got was some small bubbles but thats it. I tasted it doesnt taste like other hefes ive done at this stage kinda tastes like rotten banana. So whats the call is this really worth saving ive got plenty of buckets and im willing to let it sit but does anyone really think it could get better?
