Here's my case

I've done that beer .... Grain bill will follow Everything went A-OK

I' ve pitched from slurry ... was thin ass hell (Mr malty calculator suggested 320ml of thin slurry)

Put that baby at 70/71f to have no clove flavor but a lot of bananassss !

24 hours later :

- No cloves flavor ( YEAH! )
- Little banana smell ( :( )
- Taste no cloves ( YEAH! )
- Taste little banana ( :( )
- Gravity at 1.017

I Cleary should have gone to 240ml and maybe 200ml ... ive overpitch !

What should i do to help this baby go back on track ?
Add banana flavor at bottling ?
Add fresh banana purée to secondary ?
I still have a nice thick krausen on top

Thanx for any help

I am so confused. You are trying to fix a beer based off its taste 24 hours into fermentation? I would step away from the fermenter and let the yeast do their thing.
 
maybe im worried for nothing but usually the 3068 showcase a tons of flavors that fill the rooms in that little period of time ...

I don't have choice to wait !
