That makes me want to howl.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Anyway brew done and dusted,all targets met.

I will be fermenting at 23/24 degrees to get the banana and not the clove.

Just kegged/bottled this today,tastes pretty good.
The Amarillo and Cascade play really well with the WB06 yeast,nothing dominates.Just a smooth blend of citrus and ripe banana.
I'm going to force carbonate the keg as I think this is ready to drink now.

Sure sounds good to me. I've been enjoying lots of hoppy wheat ales in recent years. Definitely a nice combination, not sure why it took us all so long to figure that out...
