I started a blond Tuesday night with Wyeast 1028 and it is the most movement I'd ever seen in the carboy...huge chunks of yeast rising and falling, very violent.-mesmerizing
It's been warm-the strain calls for 60-72 degrees, but it's been closer to 78-79 (this is includes the heat from the fermentation itself too as). It's putting out some gas that smells very banana-y...other beers have had that, and then it's died down in the following weeks.
Does anyone have any experience with this strain? Any ideas what kind of off-flavors I might expect with the higher temp? I can live with bananas.
