Default Re: Banana wine/beer

I'm not so sure about using the hefeweizen yeast. i've used the liquid yeasts quite a bit, and I've seen them describe different fruits based on the fermentation temperature... but my pallette is not discriminating enough to taste it. It's kind of like all of the fruit flavors they attribute to different wines... very subtle.

You would probably need to get your hands on some sort of "banana extract" that you could add during the secondary or even at the bottling/ kegging process to get a flavor that you actually can taste and that really seems like banana flavored beer.
