Hello all,
For my second extract brew I did a heff from the LHBS. It consisted of 7# of bavarian wheat extract (Liquid), 1 1/3 oz Hallertaur (1 @ 60, 1/3 @ 10), and a Wyeast smack pack (for wheat brews, guy said it was very good for heff). Brew day was really easy and everything went fine. 4 Hours after pitching the yeast I was bubbling away, and the fermentation is still going strong. I have the beer in my second bedroom, I would say High temp since brewing was 70-72 tops, low is about 65-67.
My question is, I am getting somewhat of a sweet, banana smell from the fermenting beer. It doesn't smell bad, in fact it smells quite good. I heard this can happen if your temp is high (from what I read over 80). I want to know is this common with a Heff?
Thanks
Ian
