Hi everyone

I have a funny project in the head that i want to share and want some input from some of you folks

Well i want to brew a black Hefeweizen with a good or more ( but not overboard ) banana / clove flavor . I want to confuse drinker with the color but still have a little chocolate flavor as a thin layer.

Last but not the least .. I MIGHT ... i repeat i MIGHT ... try to soak chips in jamaican/carribean Rhum and drop those in the secondary to get another bite into it.

So in the end ... a nice , refreshing but layery hefeweizen

Im VERY OPEN for suggestion for modifying my current grain bill this is why im here mostly ! To have inputs and help me out create that project due for june

Here's my first draft grain bill
