Hey guys,
I am planning to brew light colored weizenbock (like Vitus), with brown sugar and age it with some sort of wood (maybe Amburana, I love it). I am also thinking on adding some vanilla. Id like it to have noticeable banana and bubble-gum aromas, but balance it with other stuff (maybe a light dry hop with some wood-earthy hops like Simcoe)...
So, here is my question: after 7 days of primary fermentation, I will add an amount of brown sugar + more yeast. Will that increase the amount of esters? Will that increase bubble gum and banana or only pump up alcohol?
Any tips or things I am missing?
