Hi again fellas, my final report on my first batch. I just popped open my hefeweizen from a Grolsch bottle and it made a hissing sound like a....real beer. YAY!!
I noticed the distinctive banana flavor, I guess due to a bit higher fermentation temperature which I aimed to do at the beginning.
The only problem is that it kinda has this bitter aftertaste which I think it's owed to too much left overs of sediment and yeast.
Am I on the right track? If I had left it more to sit in the secondary, would it have had less sediment and less bitterness?
Do they let it sit for longer times and add maltodextrin for richer body at commercial breweries?
Oh, and 2 more things: my leg feels much better and I'm growing a beard now
(fermented @ 70F and bottle conditioned @ 72F)
