the last two batches that i have brewed.. both have unhopped extract kits... one was a honey wheat beer and the other a belgian wit. the honey wheat when first opened after 2 weeks in the bottle had a strong banana taste.. after leaving them another 3 weeks the taste is so faint but is still there... today im racking the begian whit into a corny from the primary and it had a strong odor of bananas...
ive read that it can be from too high fermenting temps.. the temp was always at 65-68 for the belgian and i used a wet shirt around it when it got to 68 or 69... the taste in my first one is so faint that it is very drinkable... a little sweet... is this banana taste something i may have done or is it just an extract wheat beer thing as these were my first two batches ever???
