My buddy and I started home brewing not too long ago and we have always used kits so we didn't screw anything up, but now we want to try our own recipes. Here is one for a dunkelweizen that I have been working on. I really want to be able to taste banana, vanilla, and for a twist, some chocolate. I know the 3068 yeast will expose more of the banana and I put some chocolate grains in the mix. But I also want to be able to taste the vanilla. If you guys can look at the recipe and tell me if I should add some banana, vanilla, and chocolate extracts or if I should just leave it alone. Or should I prime with maybe some vanilla extract and banana rum? Also tell me if my grains, hops, and main extracts are correct. And I should add that we use a secondary fermenter so maybe I can add something during the transfer? Trying to get this thing to almost taste like a banana split.
