[pittsy]

How long did you boil for on the hefe ? And where did the wheat come from ? I did have issues with my wheat beer remaining cloudy but i think i have sorted it .

Great update on the red dunkle with citrusy hop oil added

Fantastic crazy twist to this beer adding double dose of this

Agh its just fantastic out come

The smell for starters is still banana

But the mixed smell of citrus fruits lemon or lime is very much in there

Extremely dry and massive lemon aftertaste with the banana is a fantastic

Burps come out more lemon than banana
Pittsy you will have to try this

:) :drink:
