i just kegged my dunkelweizen and after 4 days of carbonating and conditioning i tried a glass. and its has a strong banana flavor to it, nothing like i have had before and as strong as i have tasted.
the only thing i know that i did different was i left it in the primary for 4 weeks instead of my usual 2. i did this based on the general consesus that there is no need to secondary and i thought i would give it a shot. so could this be the reason for the strong banana flavor? did i have the beer sit too long on the yeast cake?
another note is i tried a sample before kegging and it had a slight banana flavor but it definitly got stronger after a few days in the keg
