On Sunday, using about 2 pints of 'washed' yeast cake (1056 2nd generation) and thought my thermometer on the bucket was just broken since it wasn't reading and only goes up to 79F. I know it causes a banana taste but if will leaving the beer on the yeast longer reduce this? Will the yeast consume whatever it is that causes that smell/taste?

The house was at 72 and I chilled the beer after fermentation and let it sit in the garage overnight before racking it to the fermentation bucket. I didn't check temps before racking, just assumed it was to temp.
 
To clarify, you pitched ~32 oz of washed yeast slurry at 80F into what volume of wort?
