I am working on a banana Beer that is not a wheat beer. I am looking for a yeast strain that favors banana esters.
I figure I'll have to hit high fermenting temperature on an ale yeast but really need to favor the banana but don't want the chill haze and protien of the wheat as well as the inherent astringency.
Would a lager yeast be a better approach?
For that matter, can I use a Weiss yeast like 3068 and not have wheat in the grain bill?
Anybody know?
