Last time i made a wheat beer with wyeast 3068, I saved some of the starter slurry in a boiled bottle, covered it with sanitized foil and put it in the fridge. its been almost 2 months. I wasnt sure if it was viable, so last tuesday boiled up some DME and made a starter. By the next morning there was thick kreusen and banana aroma, so I decided to use it. I chilled it Friday night, poured off the starter beer, and pitched the slurry into my all grain hefe on Sunday. I checked the fermenter monday morning, it was going strong.
Monday night there is massive kreusen, and bubbling, but no banana or clove aroma. (Its at 69 deg). It almost smells like a lager, I'm getting a very very slight hint of sulphur.
Is this hefe going to be a disaster, lacking the banana clove flavor I love?
