This is my second time with the beer... second time with this yeast first time with a starter with the beer/yeast. I have multiple flawless batches under my belt and temperature control is maintained through out the whole process since I have a fermentation chamber. I brewed this beer 3/6/11 and OG was 1.054. This is a clone of Firestone Double Barrel Ale (brewmaster's recipe). It is a extract with specialty grains recipe. The last time I brewed this beer I didn't have a way to control fermentation temps and it was so bitter and banana is that it was undrinkable. I have kept this beer fermenting at 62'f for 6 days. Today I took a sample to get the SG and it was 1.019. Not yet finished but I just wanted to see how it is going. Upon pouring my sample into a glass to enjoy I get a banana ester smell and was like "oh no not again!!". I took a drink and while it tasted 1,000,000 times better than the last batch I still get banana flavors. What is the cause of this? Is this because of the yeast? I have switched to dry yeast entirely because of this very beer last time and have ZERO esters... now I'm back to the same beer and yeast and am experiencing esters again. Ideas?
