This is a very nice Hefeweizen. I did a docoction mash according to the above schedule. Should be fermented at 62-63F if you like the banana tasting esters to be significant in the profile. Warmer you ferment, the more clove esters will be produced. I don't have a way to closely control fermentation temperatures lower than the ambient temperature of my house. I placed it near a cracked window in my basement. The temperature ranged from 62-68, probably averaging 66. The beer has a nice banana-clove flavor, more clove than banana. Nice light yellow hazy appearance as a Hefe should have. This is a keeper. Will brew again.
