Brew Batch # 101 WBI

WBI (aka Wheat Beer Incident) is a bit of an inside joke, but nonetheless was kegged with a beautiful slight straw haze today with FG 1.008-0.0001@55F to yield a perfect 5.6% Weissbier. The patience at 64F for 3 days of fermentation then free rise to 72F and holding seem to really cut back on the clove and bring the soft banana esters forward which is what I was shooting for. I like clove but since I wasn't doing a ferulic rest, I wanted to try and manipulate the 4-vinyl guaiacol pathway however I could and push towards iso-amyl acetate for this one. I'll play with under pitching next time, but for now let's have a pint.
